Sam Shepard's quotes
- Collaboration--that's the word producers use. That means, "Don't forget to kiss ass from beginning to end".
- Personality is everything that's false in a human, everything that's been added on to him and contrived.
- [Aug. 1970 interview in "Playboy" magazine] The people the critics write for aren't important to me. As far as I'm concerned, Broadway just doesn't exist.
- I was different on drugs-crystal Methedrine, which had more of an edge. When you walked down the street, your heels made sparks.
- Don't you find it kind of self-indulgent for actors to go around writing parts for themselves?
- There are places where writing is acting and acting is writing. I'm not so interested in the divisions. I'm interested in the way things cross over.
- I'm not in demand. I'm all washed up.
- Hollywood is geared toward teenage idiocy.
- You're still much more afraid of the audience, and yet, on the other hand, you desperately want to plunge into new territory. So every once in a while, the opportunity to make this leap gets handed to you. It's like jumping into cold water.
- It's one of the great tragedies of our contemporary life in America, that families fall apart. Almost everybody has that in common.
- I didn't go out of my way to get into this movie stuff. I think of myself as a writer.
- [on Harry Dean Stanton] He is one of those actors who knows that his face is the story.
