people ordinary wonderful
[Making Ordinary People] was a wonderful experience. Tremendous. I haven't seen it since. It belongs to the public now; it no longer really belongs to me.
dark sides be-careful
Be careful of success; it has a dark side.
blue white america
If you want to slice into America, it's pretty red, white, and blue in terms of how it goes about things, but there's a gray area there, and I've always been interested in where things are complicated.
fall character journey
He's meant to be that classic Homer, Ulysses, Hercules - a character who goes out or has some gift of some kind. He goes on a journey of discovery and part of that is falling into darkness - the temptations of life.
fun wife watches
I can't watch completed films - my wife makes fun of me.
horse space mountain
I've been able to carve out spaces for myself. At Sundance, I'm in the mountains - my property is private. I get on a horse and ride for three, four hours. Sometimes five. I get lost. But when I'm in, I'm in.
years people conformity
I was seen in earlier years by family members and people of authority as somebody wasting his time. I had trouble with the restrictions of conformity. It made me edgy.
adventure students kindergarten
I was never a good student. I had to be dragged into kindergarten. It was hard to sit and listen to somebody talk. I wanted to be out, educated by experience and adventure, and I didn't know how to express that.
moving-forward moving trying
I'm always moving forward and trying new things.
utah political conservatism
Because, you know, you're in Utah. And because of its political conservatism, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
film enjoyed
'Butch Cassidy' was the only film I ever enjoyed making.

The important thing about a sport is the people who devote their lives to it.
thinking whole-life keep-going
I think you just keep going. I've been that way, my whole life.
important storytelling humans
Storytelling is important. Part of human continuity.
