Wild Bill was a strange character. In person he was about six feet and one inch in height. He was a Plains-man in every sense of the word.

When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director.

I still make more money as I do as an actor than director, however I don't want to be a commercial director.

I like the wild characters. I like the idea of being a character actor without being a character actor.

You know, I became a director out of necessity. I was writing comedies, and I couldn't find anybody to deliver it correctly.

I'm an actor; I'm not a director.

I became a director just for the love of movies, because of the power of cinema.

The appeal of the wild for me is its unpredictability. You have to develop an awareness, react fast, be resourceful and come up with a plan and act on it.

I didn't plan to be a director until I was 35. For years I wanted to do anything but!

At that point, the movie was called Wild Force. Everything fell apart, eventually - our financing completely fell apart - and we were never able to make that film.
