I think people start rumors because it creates interest and it makes people look at things and become more interested in what they're looking at.
I think it [Trouble In Mind] was the only time Divine didn't appear in drag, or certainly one of the few times, anyway. Alan created a time and place that was no time and no place, so it was not identifiable with any particular period or any particular city or any particular country, for that matter. I mean, everybody spoke English, but that was about it. So you couldn't pigeonhole that film.
I like the Western genre, I think it's uniquely American.
I think that the film ["Jim Younger"] still resonates, because there's just something that you can't fake about those kinds of relationships. When you see James and Stacy Keach on the screen together, they're brothers!
I think time is elastic. There are moments in my life that are many, many years ago and yet I can conjure them as though it's a second ago. And there are other things that happened maybe last week that seem like ages ago.
There's a great argument about how many men he actually killed. People would tell stories and then as we all know as stories get told over and over again, they get embellished, facts get changed, elaborated upon, exaggerated.
Well I mean, I drove out to the set and did my work, and then I drove back. And at the end of each day's work there wasn't time to explore.

There are people who said he killed over a hundred men. Historical fact doesn't corroborate one hundred men.
When you get all this stuff on and you put on the guns and the hair, it has an effect on the actor. It tends to lend a certain something to the way you feel as you're just walking around looking that way.
I've grown this mustache which saves me from having to glue on one every day in the heat.
There was something intimidating about a guy who was known to be a killer and at the same time, there was a bit of a showman about him.
One of the wonderful things about the actor's life is that's what we have the opportunity to do; we bring all these aspects of ourselves and of our personal lives into the work that we do.
One can't help but bring one's own personality into what one is doing, and it's certainly true of us actors and it's true of writers.
