I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell's notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we're close to that.

'Butch Cassidy' was the only film I ever enjoyed making.

The measure of our success will be the condition on which we leave the world for the next generation.

I'm interested in that thing that happens where there's a breaking point for some people and not for others. You go through such hardship, things that are almost impossibly difficult, and there's no sign that it's going to get any better, and that's the point when people quit. But some don't.

I'm not good at compromise.

I guess the optimistic thing is that those people in Congress who are climate deniers, I think their time has run out.
