This is something very near to my heart.
Dean was talented, obviously, ... But he died at a good time.
The money part is one of the most difficult things. Coppola always said I should do a tango movie. If it hadn't been for him, I don't know where we would have gotten the money.
It's cheap and it's ranch country. I like the sight of the mountains.
I made a statement before that there were no good actors up here. I eat my words.
At one point, they wanted me at the end wounded, and in a wheelchair and crutch like Anthony Hopkins in Legends of the Fall. I said I'm not doing that movie.
What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.
You know, Hollywood sometimes tends to patronize the interior of the United States. As Horton Foote used to say, the great Texas playwright, that a lot of people from New York don't know what goes on beyond the South Jersey Shore.
Never use money to measure wealth, son.
Hollywood is still the mecca for good or bad, but it isn't the beginning or end for filmmaking.
If you don't daydream and kind of plan things out in your imagination, you never get there. So you have to start someplace.
Being a star is an agent's dream, not an actor's.
I love the smell of juice boxes in the morning.
If I ended my career, I wouldn't mind doing a TV series if it was a western and I played a mute gunfighter so I wouldn't have to remember lines every week.
