“I know what I’ve done, and I think the FBI murdered a lot of trees unnecessarily. What is really freaky is that anyone would take that much time to spy on someone else, especially in a free society.” – On FBI file.
“It’s hard to trust a bunch of Hollywood people, but once we sat down and talked, these were no longer Hollywood people. I trusted their integrity and finally had to ask myself if I trusted my instincts more than I trusted my paranoia. My paranoia tells me not to trust Hollywood, but I went with my instincts. Besides, this was too important a story not to trust them. I liked that this was a story in a contemporary setting, not a historical setting, which is usually where you find the People. And I liked that it was based on the facts of what happened. I liked that somebody was finally telling the truth.”
“When I watched movies, I always rooted for the gangsters and the Indians. I never wanted to be a cop or a cowboy. It’s not that I place badness over goodness, but I thought the Indians and gangsters had more personality. When I was 9, I first felt that I was a person out of time. I felt I was living in the wrong time, that I belonged in the past with the People, when they were in a better position to put up more resistance. I don’t know if you could call that a political thought. Maybe it was just part of my genetic memory.”
“I went off into exile inside my own head. I knew there was a hard time of madness coming and I was not going to pretend that I didn’t have to go through it.” – The fire.
“I was always interested in acting, and Thunderheart was a good chance to see if I could do it. It turns out that I don’t find acting too difficult and would like to try it again.” “I never look for immediate change in the world. I look for an evolution of change, so I’m hoping for long-term positive results. Long-term is the only practical way to look at change.” – Impact of Thunderheart.~
