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.
sports people important
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.
kids wish looking-good
When I was a kid, nobody told me I was good-looking. I wish they had. I would've had a better time.
weekend cynical cotton-candy
I am a cynical optimist. Big opening weekends are like cotton candy. The films you will remember over time are the films that stick in the consciousness of the audience in a good way.
moving hands back-when
In fact you've got your hands tied behind your back when somebody chooses to take a low road in to you, there is nothing you can do about it, and so you just live with it and move on.
sports baseball golf
Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing, baseball, fishing - there is no greater example than golf, because you're playing against yourself and nature.
mean talking achieve
Generally speaking, I went through that. I came to a place where I realised what true value was. It wasn't money. Money is a means to achieving an end, but it's not the end.
years festivals way
We program the festival, after 20 years, exactly the way we did on the first day.
