although basically jim
We were basically one and the same, although Jim was just about perfect, and, of course, I am perfect.
relationship
The longer I go about living, I see it's the relationship that is most meaningful.
fallen human might took worst
Regret is the worst human emotion. If you took another road, you might have fallen off a cliff. I'm content.
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.

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.
reveals sort
I didn't realize that, in doing a documentary, there is this process of discovery. It's not like a film or a play with a set script. It sort of reveals itself.
