Given A Chance, I Would Like To

I Was Very Curious About The World Even At A Young Age, And I Don't Know At What Point I Became Aware That Other Cultures Believed In Different Religions, And My Question Was, 'well, Why Don't They Get To Go To Heaven Then?' And The Answer Was Always, 'well, Everyone Gets A Chance - Meaning At The Word Of God As It Was Described To Me Then. And That Didn't Sit Well With Me Then. But In Times Of Trouble Or Discord, It's A Great Comfort. And It Wasn't Till I Left Home That I Really Came To The Conclusion That It Didn't Make Sense To Me For Many Other Reasons.

I'm Actually Very Snobbish About Directors. I Have To Say No All The Time. 'no' Is The Most Powerful Word In Our Business. You've Got To Protect Yourself… To Leave Home, It's Got To Be Worth Leaving. It's Got To Be Worth It.

It's A Lovely Experience Walking Around A Museum By Yourself.

I Come From The Belief That All Good Films Find Their Time Whether It's On Opening Week Or Sometime Later. That's Certainly True With Some Of My Favourite Films That Might Relate To This [the Assassination Of Jesse James] Film In Terms Of Cadence Like Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, Or Mccabe & Mrs Miller Or Days Of Heaven. I Found Them 10 To 20 Years After They Were Made.
