I'm not putting down anyone that does look at their work in that way, but for me I am a hardcore amateur.

I'm still trying to learn how to do it, I'm still trying to figure out how to make films, but, yeah, it started then [in 1979].

In Hollywood Westerns even in the Thirties and Forties, history was mythologized to accommodate some kind of moral code. And what really affects me deeply is when you see it taken to the extent where Native Americans become mythical people.

Before she married my father, my mother was a film reviewer for The Akron Beacon Journal - a small newspaper.

I don't like American football. I think it's boring and ridiculous and predictable. But baseball is very beautiful. It's played on a diamond.

I think people should have the right to bear arms, but they should be limited as to what kinds of guns they can have.

Making a film that is in seven days of one week is not a new idea.
