Zitat des Tages von John Lee Hancock:
Somebody might say that they always wanted to be a fly-fishing guide in Montana and maybe they'll never get to do that but just by the virtue of having said it out loud, I think there's some power in that.
I grew up in Texas City, Texas. I didn't know anybody who was a director or whose parents or grandparents were directors. I met somebody from a nearby town one time whose father had been to the moon - it was far more likely to be an astronaut than it was to be a writer or a director.
Many years ago, I was a producer on a movie called 'My Dog Skip.' Willie Morris, the great southern writer, had written the book. We had adapted it and taken 17 years of his life and compressed it into one year.
For every one that gets made, there are five other movies that you try to get made that you don't.
Whenever a film has three different release dates, people understandably assume that there must be something wrong with it.
You set out to tell a good story. You don't do it because there is a deep message involved because the movie is almost always bad when you do that.
When you are older, you want to be around people you admire, even in their personal lives.
I grew up in a refinery town in Texas, and we weren't fancy enough to have a McDonald's.
I just hope, every now and then, the studios still slip one of my movies in.
We did not go to that many movies in a theater in the little town I grew up in.
Any time you have people of different races in a movie that's about America, there's going to be a racial component.
A good deed is a good deed.
You set out to tell a good story. You don't do it because there is a deep message involved, because the movie is almost always bad when you do that. Your job No. 1 is for it to be entertaining, and if it's inspiring, that is great, too.
