 Filmgoers are starved for new ideas, voices and visions. |
| I'm not a facelift person. I am what I am. |
| You can't completely control the sport - Tiger Woods comes close. The test is against yourself and nature's own way. I find golf a particularly good metaphor for this story. |
| I don't know what your childhood was like, but we didn't have much money. We'd go to a movie on a Saturday night, then on Wednesday night my parents would walk us over to the library. It was such a big deal, to go in and get my own book. |
| I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend? |
| It's an honor putting art above politics. Politics can be seductive in terms of things reductive to the soul. |
| As an actor and as a person you come together with being in familiar territory although that has not been my whole life. That's been a part of it. I think a lot of people associate me with the west because of Sundance. |
| Usually I like to improvise. Sometimes, depending on the nature of the piece, I like to improvise because I think it brings certain freshness and a reality to it, as long as it doesn't go too far out of the box. |
| Never revisit the past, that's dangerous. You know, move on. |
| Lastly get emotionally connected to your story so you can deliver it, you know, if you can't deliver the emotions to your script there's no point to your story. Story is the key. |
| We program the festival, after 20 years, exactly the way we did on the first day. |
| Health food may be good for the conscience but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better. |
| Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing, baseball, fishing - there is no greater example than golf, because you're playing against yourself and nature. |
| In fact you've got your hands tied behind your back when somebody chooses to take a low road in to you, there is nothing you can do about it, and so you just live with it and move on. |
| Generally speaking, I went through that. I came to a place where I realised what true value was. It wasn't money. Money is a means to achieving an end, but it's not the end. |
| Whereas money is a means to an end for a filmmaker, to the corporate mind money is the end. Right now, I think independent film is very confused, because there's excess pressure in the marketplace for entertainment to pay off. |
| Once the festival achieved a certain level of notoriety, then people began to come here with agendas that were not the same as ours. We can't do anything about that. We can't control that. |
| I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell's notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we're close to that. |
| Because, you know, you're in Utah. And because of its political conservatism, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. |
| Sundance was started as a mechanism for the discovery of new voices and new talent. |
