I did [Michael Cimino] first movie, "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot," and I remember I was still in my twenties and very nervous, we're shooting up in Montana, and I'm thinking, "What the hell am I doing here? I don't feel anything like this part.

My wife holds the kite strings that let me go 'weeeeeee', then she reels me back in.

If some crazy idea stays in my head for long enough, then there's no fighting it. I just say, Okay, let's go.

I hadn't talked to him in many, many years. He got a bad rap on "Heaven's Gate." I actually live in the hog ranch from "Heaven's Gate" in Montana. Mike Cimino gave me that set, the whorehouse, that's my house.

My website's kind of fun for me. I get to do drawings on that. It's kind of fun.

Sometimes I think of movie acting as advanced pretend.

A lot of people don't really understand what rehearsal's about. People are afraid they're gonna leave it in the dressing room, or you're gonna shoot your wad in rehearsal.
