I actually love diving at night; you see a lot of fish then that you don't see in the daytime.
I learnt to drive at around eleven years old. In an old jeep on a field in Colorado. There were lots of ditches. I could barely see over the steering wheel.
When I'm actually assembling a scene, I assemble it as a silent movie. Even if it's a dialog scene, I lip read what people are saying.
I did try to write fiction. I wrote 10 novels. And they were all just awful.
The first big stars, Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, you know, these were gigantic stars. I even wonder sometimes whether all music actually comes from women, whether the first glimmering of music is a mother soothing a baby.
I always prefer shooting on locations, because when I'm at home, it's harder to sort of get lost in the world of whatever you're making.
What made us different from other westerns was the fact that 'Gunsmoke' wasn't just action and a lot of shooting; they were character-study shows.
A lot of my nonfiction is very strong environmental stories - I was the first guy to write about the dolphin killings in Japan.
I learned long ago to accept the fact that not everything I create will see the light of day.
