As a kid, there was a painting of 'Appeal to the Great Spirit' that I would see when I would get oatmeal bowls out of the cupboard. This painting, it was so real to me that it frightened me.

If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man, he would have made me so in the first place.

Each man is good in the sight of the Great Spirit.

I liked 'Scream of the Banshee' because it was a real challenge. I thought, 'How am I going to pull off this character?' But, I also thought, 'Oh, man, I'm going to go for it.' He's got all the defects of character that an actor loves to play. So, I had a really great time.

All men were made by the Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers.

Seeing the world is the best education you can get. You see sorrow, and you also see great spirit and will to survive.
