I must have had faith that day. When I went out, I was Henry Fonda again. An unemployed actor but a man.

Getting out from under the shadow of Henry Fonda was difficult.

If I have enough ego to say I'm a writer, a director, a producer, and an actor, I should have the energy and the knowledge to write a scene for this great actor named Henry Fonda and direct him in it and have it work.

I knew Henry Fonda was my father, but I didn't know who I was. They all thought of me as Henry Fonda's son. Unfortunately for them, they never got to know me.

I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.

Henry Fonda's son: That's how everybody identified me until Easy Rider came along. Good old Captain America.
