dreamt exciting great leading major moment motion nobody picture quite robert wise
It was exciting in that it was the first of the films. Nobody had ever dreamt of it being a major motion picture. Robert Wise was one of the leading lights, one of the great directors, and he was quite a force. And so between the idea of it being a major motion picture and Robert Wise directing, it was an important moment in all our lives.
sniff
I wanted to sniff those flowers, and fly!
It's irksome to read about someone I don't recognize. It frightens me.
although basically jim
We were basically one and the same, although Jim was just about perfect, and, of course, I am perfect.
across backs frequently running
I frequently dream of being on these horses' backs and running across a field. And the horse and I are one.
gonna including repeating
I'm gonna reveal something to you that's going to come as a shock: If you're a stupid young man, you're usually a stupid old man. Most people, including myself, keep repeating the same mistakes.
attitude became comments felt success
Over the years, I've become barraged by comments from people, such as, 'Beam me up, Scotty!' and I became defensive. I felt they were derisive and engendered an attitude. I am grateful for the success, but didn't want to be mocked.
love mystical
I love horses. There's something practical and mystical about them.
age feeling foreign striking
I find age such a foreign concept. I have to be reminded. I still have the extraordinary feeling of adventure, striking out into unknown fields.
alone angst except
I've been in that angst of loneliness, where you're really alone in the universe, except for the dog.
great high inventions light love technology time wheel
I love technology. Matches, to light a fire, is really high tech. The wheel is really one of the great inventions of all time. Other than that, I am an ignoramus about technology.
defines everybody finding success
Success is different for everyone; everybody defines it in their own way, and that's part of what we do in 'Close Up', finding what it was each person wanted to achieve and what their willingness to sacrifice for that was.
eventually logical might time travel unsettling
I find the whole time travel question very unsettling if you take it to its logical extension. I think it might eventually be possible, but then what happens?
country
I've never been without a dog. I've made trips across the country with a dog.
