Trivia and Quotes

Quotes
  • [On Badlands (1973)] I tried to keep the 1950s to a bare minimum. Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; it can drown out anything. I wanted the picture to set up like a fairy tale, outside time, like Treasure Island. I hoped this would, among other things, take a little of the sharpness out of the violence, but still keep its dreamy quality.

  • [on working with Martin Sheen on "Badlands"] Martin Sheen was extraordinary. He`s a very gifted man. He`s from a working class family, so he had all the moods down for the film. And when he wasn`t before the cameras, he was helping in the background, wrapping cables, packing up light reflectors. One day I found him going around a gas station and picking up aluminum snapback lids from soda cans. He knew they didn`t exist in 1959.
