Costner played John Dutton from the show's first season up until the first part of its fifth run. He then notably left the show to focus on his Horizon series of films, with his character being killed off off-screen.
"I’m willing to do anything where I feel like what I’m doing is for myself," Costner said, in exclusive quotes provided to Radio Times. "It doesn’t have to be a Western, it could be something else. But when something is no longer interesting to me, or there’s some other reason that I need to move on, I’m willing to do that.
"I think the hope for me is that I can stay relevant; not only to myself, but to people who find my work. I can’t create work that I think is going to find them. I can only create work that when they do find it, it reflects what I was feeling and my sensibility. And hopefully they’re moved by it."
Costner made the comments as he fronts new eight-part documentary series Kevin Costner's The West.
Speaking about the documentary, Costner said that he feels exploring the history has helped to reaffirm the truth behind some of the Western films he has starred in, which have shied away from the "romanticised" version of the period.
"To look at a town, you didn’t really understand how the town came to be; you just saw that it was existing. You didn’t think about any of the hardships, so we just romanticised what we saw. We didn’t see the exploration and the confrontation, which was inch-by-inch and usually ended in blood.
Costner continued: "Everything that happened in Dances with Wolves or Open Range or Horizon actually happened out there. I didn’t make those stories up. There were interactions and they all have truth to them. They’re made up ideas, but those interactions happened a million times.
