Tony Quinn, whom I admired professionally and liked personally, played my brother, but he was extremely cold to me while we shot that picture. During our scenes together, I sensed a bitterness toward me, and if I suggested a drink after work, he either turned me down or else was sullen and said little. Only years later did I learn why.

“Rzemiosłem zastąpiliśmy sztukę, a zręcznością rzemiosło. To wstrętne! Ohydne. Ludzie mówią o sztuce, a nie mają w ogóle prawa używać tego słowa. W żadnym języku. Nie ma już artystów. Jesteśmy wszyscy biznesmenami. Handlarzami. Nie ma już sztuki.”

“Ludzie mają dość relatywizmu, więc znajdują ulgę, gdy widzą, że coś jest zdecydowanie dobre albo zdecydowanie złe. Dlatego też dramatopisarze, którzy przedstawiają ludzki konflikt bez zajmowania zdecydowanego punktu widzenia, nie sprzedają swoich sztuk. Takiej produkcji ludzie nie chcą oglądać, bo jest za bardzo wymagająca.”

“Nienawiść grupowa jest dużo bardziej niebezpieczna i grożąca potencjalnym wybuchem niż nienawiść jednostkowa. Grupowo można popełnić najgorsze zbrodnie, ale oczywiście zawsze w imię prawa i sprawiedliwości. Tak jak w filmach z Johnem Wayne. To jego filozofia. John Wayne nie sądzi, że zbrodnie popełnione na Indianach są zbrodniami.”
