I Regard Everything With Irony,

The End Of A Picture Is Always An End Of A Life.

I Made A Film Where Nobody Got Shot And Nobody Went To See It.

I Created 'the Westerner' Because Of Anger - Anger At Never-miss Sheriffs, Always-right Marshalls, Whitewashed Gunfighters ... Anger At Tv's Quick-draw Tin Gods Who Stand Behind A Tin Star Or Ten Cents' Worth Of Righteous Anger And Justify Their Skill And Slaughter With A Self-conscious Grin Or A Minute's Worth Of Bad Philosophy.

I Regard Everything With Irony, Including The Face I See In The Mirror When I Wake Up In The Morning.

The Western Is A Universal Frame Within Which It's Possible To Comment On Today.
