Costner spent the past year focusing on his passion project “Horizon” and raising his children. The ‘Field of Dreams’ star shares three children with ex-wife Christine Baumgartner. Costner also shares three adult children with ex-wife Cindy Silva and a son with Bridget Rooney. The actor’s children are the ‘anchor’ of his life.

“They know I have this chosen job, but honestly, I’m very clear about where my responsibility absolutely lies at the end of the day,” he told People magazine.

“They look like shooting stars,” Costner added. “My life is just driving up and down the highway, just trying to get the kids where they think they need to be… but that’s part of the job.”

“I chased the cowboy life as soon as I could walk, and here I am still doing it.”
