I Quit, And Then I Started Again,

I Grew Up In Oklahoma And Missouri, And I Just Loved Film. My Folks Would Take Us To The Drive-in On Summer Nights, And We'd Sit On The Hood Of The Car. I Just Had This Profound Love For Storytelling.

I Was Hiding Out From The Celebrity Thing, I Was Smoking Way Too Much Dope, I Was Sitting On The Couch, And Just Turning Into A Doughnut, And I Really Got Irritated With Myself.

There Are Certain Aspects Of Celebrity That I Understand, Although That's Not The Main Point Of The Story [in Assassination Of Jesse James] , But It Is One Of The By Products. I Certainly Understand What Its Like To Be Hunted And Have A Bounty On My Head But At Least Nobody Is Pointing Guns At Me.

How Many Stories Have You Read That Aren't True, Stories About Me And Angie Being Married Or Fighting Or Splitting Up? And When We Don't Split Up, There's A Whole New Round That We've Made Up And We're Back Together Again!

When I First Moved To L.a., I Discovered Roy London. I Didn't Know Anything About The Arts, The Profession; I Had No Technique, I Knew Nothing, I'm Fresh From Missouri. I Sat In On A Few Classes, And They Just Felt A Little Guru-ish And Just Didn't Feel Right To Me. Until I Met Roy.
