You really have to soak up the culture of the people to get it right. If you're making a fiction film, it's entertainment, but you want it to be as real as possible.
From Robert Duvall
You just can't take a crash course to be a tango dancer in a movie.
You have a little bit of feeling for everyone you play.
You get below the Mason-Dixon line and you have some of the best music, culture, the two races, the literature, and it's so rich.
We all have a cradle-to-the-grave journey to make and, in between, what do you do? There's got to be something hereafter.
Very often some of the religious miracle plays you see on television can be very corny, I find. And so simplistic.
Today, everything has to be made by committee, and has to have special effects, but there's always room for good films.
There was nothing wrong with shouting at God.
The money part is one of the most difficult things. Coppola always said I should do a tango movie. If it hadn't been for him, I don't know where we would have gotten the money.
The cultural contrast I saw between religions... Catholics have a lot of mediators, going through saints and Mary or whatever. Protestants in general say things to God directly.
