The idea of a film staying in theaters for a year is something of a fantasy today.
Many times you walk into a room and people have already made up their minds. But it's always good to have something great associated with you.
I think it's great when girls are artistic.
Carloads of tourists would photograph the family mailbox, and there was weird mail, death threats.
I have horses, I drive a truck, and I wear cowboy boots. First I'm a Texan.
I grew up in a rural area, I was from kind of a poor family and my parents weren't showbiz people. But going back was strange, and perhaps stranger for the other students.
I understood why films were made, and if they made a lot of money, they were successful. All of these things I knew. As a ten-year-old boy, I didn't really think a lot about finances or celebrity. I always viewed films as kind of what I imagined a summer camp to be like.
I was getting a lot of hassles from the public. Everybody recognized me.
Even if I had a tuxedo I wouldn't wear it to school.
If I can generate enough income, I'd like to get a castle, a historic castle that I can restore.
It's really important to go back to where you come from.
I probably complicate things unnecessarily now just to give the illusion of professionalism.
It's unprecedented. The ramifications could go well beyond this particular case.
It was not as easy of a decision as some expected it to be.
