bear boots chasing closing feet gets guy rifle running soon supposed sweating threw tree utah
We were at 10,000 feet in Utah and I was running out of gas. I was in boots that were leather-soled. The bear was closing in. Now, he's supposed to be playing. Once I started to run, he got really excited. Pretty soon he was chasing me. And I said if this guy gets me, his idea of play is going to be the end of me. So I threw the rifle out and got on that tree so fast. Now, once it was done, I mean, I was sweating bullets. I said, not again. Not again.
died guys sequel spiritual
What about a sequel to 'Butch Cassidy?' Well the guys died in it, what is it going to be, a spiritual film? Well how about a prequel? That's pretty desperate.
itself ok stopped stuff sundance
There is nothing I can do about this stuff and I am pretty well ok with the fact that I think Sundance is not going to be stopped by it, because he Festival is itself now, and doesn't need me out there to talk about it like I did years ago.
effect fare films
Films don't always tell a story; some films can achieve effect just by being razzle-dazzle or rock n' roll. That's part of the fare that's out there. And that's okay. For me, I place more value on a story.
access wonder
When I go for a project, I wonder what underpinning a project will have that's going to give the audience some emotional access to it.
gone people tried
People say I've gone against Hollywood, but I've tried to be independent within Hollywood, tried to be my own person.
drawn people
I'm always drawn to stories that people don't know about, particularly when they're inside of a story that everyone knows about.
believe people
I believe the American people care a lot about the environment.
changed fascinated keen living
I'm fascinated by journalism. I put a keen eye, not a negative eye, on its role, particularly how it is changed by the times we're living in.
themselves tried turned
I never had a problem with my face on screen. I thought it is what it is, and I was turned off by actors and actresses that tried to keep themselves young.
entertainment needs public taking
The focus of entertainment is taking away from what the public needs as news. I think investigative journalism will always be important and always find its way, be it on the Internet or wherever.
attention paying people rather sexiest top
I think that people should be paying a lot more attention to other issues, rather than who's the top 10 this or... who's the sexiest or the most beautiful.
work
I work because I want to work. Work keeps me going.
