Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.

If you don't daydream and kind of plan things out in your imagination, you never get there. So you have to start someplace.

You just can't take a crash course to be a tango dancer in a movie.

The idea is that one's temperament improves with age; that you learn to deal better with people and become more benevolent and loving. That's not necessarily true. I try to stay loose but sometimes the best thing to do is get yourself away and take a good nap.

The cultural contrast I saw between religions... Catholics have a lot of mediators, going through saints and Mary or whatever. Protestants in general say things to God directly.

I am getting some good offers still. Some nice things are coming my way just as they always have, so unless I lose my inspiration or there is too much drool to wipe, I will keep going.
