"We are always acting on what has just finished happening. It happened at least 1/30th of a second ago. We think we're in the present, but we aren't. The present we know is only a movie of the past."

"There's a hysterical, tired sense of humor that comes after working 14 hours a day, six days a week. I like those things because they take the pressure off the constant stress."
Humor
"To people outside, they think, Gee, that's great. You get to go here and there. The other side of that is our expression, This is location, not vacation."
People
"Sometimes I think I'm real predictable to myself and other times... you always wonder, Is this really what I wanted to do? Did I make a mistake? Should I be doing something else?"
Mistake
"I'm probably satisfied with my career 80 percent of the time."
Time
"I wrote a script. I actually enjoyed writing it more than acting. It's about the Irish rebellion of 1920, which is a fascinating period and place for me."
Acting
"Debra Winger doesn't let anything interfere with her performance, which is the way it should be."
Performance

Business
"We had training camp for a week, and we used the actual military drills of that period. We didn't have to work out much after hours, because going up and down hills all day was a good workout in itself."
Work
"I got to talking to an old actor, and he had a bunch of stories about the Rough Riders."
Actor
"I had already done a lot of research for Rough Riders, keeping notebooks and old photographs. Some of the books were antiques for that time period, with the covers falling off."
