My home town is very small and very remote and we don't have a movie house Picture Quote #1

The world’s not a very comfortable place if you have a nightmare to face Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked with more than 50 directors and I’ve paid attention since day one. That’s pretty much been my education, apart from studying art history and shooting with my own cameras. I’ve seen 50 different sets of mistakes and 50 different ways of achieving Picture Quote #1

What appeals to me? There are things, points of view, uses of the language, habits of dress, ways of thought and believing that came to me from my grandparents and came to them from theirs. Things that are of good use in any situation, no matter what the future may hold Picture Quote #1

I want out of each and every one of you is a hard target search, of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area Picture Quote #1

I think that no matter how much you don’t like yourself or the drama of your life you can still find some comedy in it Picture Quote #1

My idea in terms of managing a narrative, or in thinking in my creative life, is that you could easily argue that the past, the present and the future all occur simultaneously, and if you can postulate that, then you’re not strictly bound to a linear narrative Picture Quote #1

No director wants to be directed, but no good director... would shy away from the good ideas of others Picture Quote #1

In the political world, the only position I have is voter. I’m not a spokesman for anything Picture Quote #1

As an actor to watch an audience of people howl together in a single mind as a result of work you’ve done together with friends is a privilege Picture Quote #1

But Tommy Lee Jones is just smooth. He’s just the real deal. I’m captivated by him because there’s so little of that in Hollywood, and he just embodies it Picture Quote #1

Well, Tommy Lee Jones is a little bit more intimidating. He’s definitely a cowboy. He’s from Texas Picture Quote #1
