Easy Rider' was never a motorcycle movie to me. A lot of it was about politically what was going on in the country.

It takes more than going down to the video store and renting "Easy Rider" to be a rebel.

I was someone who was out of control and not to be worked with. It was partly because method acting was a new thing in Hollywood then and Marlon Brando had gotten through and Montgomery Clift had gotten through and James Dean but beyond that there wasn't really anybody.

I used to have to wear a gas mask to school when I was a kid because of the dust. I would tell people that the first light I saw was in a movie theater, because the sun was just a little glow.

I've always been doing some sort of art. I started off, when I was very young, painting.
