I don't want to be an old-man filmmaker, making old-man movies, and I don't want to be the one not to know when to leave the party.
I'm very much a man of the moment. I can think about an idea for a year, two years, even four years all right, but what ever is going on with me the moment I write is gonna work it's way into the piece.
They [American Indians] never did straight-up fights. It wasn't about, you know, getting killed in the line of fire.

Tell you what. Next time I do a movie, you can drive me to the set.
I wasn't familiar with him, and I thought the scene was too brutal for the song. So what do I know?
I don't think it's a stretch. I always knew Johnny was a good actor. But also, when you're looking for the ultimate, charming, redneck-scoundrel rascal, I think Johnny's the go-to guy.
The fact that England has embraced me as one of its own is really cool,
That part that was in the wall, that was the bomb. I wanted a lot of wall time and Wally gave me the wall time.
