Like all artists, I want to cheat death a little and contribute something to the next generation.

[After Easy Rider] I couldn't get another movie, so I lived in Mexico City for a couple of years. I lived in Paris for a couple of years. I didn't take any photographs, and then I went to Japan and saw a Nikon used. I bought it, and I just started, like an alcoholic. I shot 300 rolls of film. That was the beginning of me starting again.

For most of my life, I wasn't on the Left.

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

I've been a Republican since Reagan. I voted for Bush and his father. I don't tell a lot of people, because I live in a city where somebody who voted for Bush is really an outcast.

My whole written history is one big lie! I mean, I can't even believe my history.
