When I heard Ang Lee, Larry McMurtry, Heath Ledger, that's all I needed to know. Whether it's everyone's cup of tea or not, this is art.

If you see me or Heath (Ledger) in a movie that you don’t like it’s because we made a bad decision, ... There’s no hiding behind, ‘Well, I needed the money. I needed to pay my rent.’

…Heath Ledger once said to me, ‘It’s built you up to knock you down and that’s all it is.

We were all really panicked when we heard the gunshots,

It sounded a lot like me when I didn't want to go to Vancouver. Really, I had never heard of (Vazquez) before. I didn't know who he was.

We were making these nice Western shirts, and I needed something different to justify the additional expense. That's when we came up with snaps. We sold it as a shirt for cowboys, one that would be a break-away shirt and wouldn't get hung up like buttons might.
