It was fortunate for all of us to have Joaquin Jackson, who is a very renowned Texas Ranger, on board. He spent quite a few days with us on set and he added a lot to it for me on what it's like to be a Texas Ranger.

I've got a closet full of tuxes, and I appreciate that, because one thing I don't like to do is shop.

He [Michael Cimino] wasn't the typical filmmaker. I don't know if he had more in him, he certainly had a lot of scripts. I know he wrote a hell of a lot.

I think my love of journalizing my life comes from my mom.

Yeah, I've been interested in music since I was a teenager, always writing songs.

I think it would really be more like 10 films before I locked in and said, "Yeah, I'm really gonna do this thing."

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.
