The Country Is So Wounded,

From My Experience In My Country, America Over And Over Again Takes Itself Right To The Brink, It Puts One Foot Over But It Never Goes Over. It Wakes Up At The Last Minute And Says Woah, And Then Pulls Back...

I'm Not Much Interested In Sport Just As Sport. I Wouldn't Be Interested In Making A Golf Film Or Baseball Or Fishing Film.

For Me, Personally, Skiing Holds Everything. I Used To Race Cars, But Skiing Is A Step Beyond That. It Removes The Machinery And Puts You One Step Closer To The Elements. And It's A Complete Physical Expression Of Freedom.

I Was Never A Good Student. I Had To Be Dragged Into Kindergarten. It Was Hard To Sit And Listen To Somebody Talk. I Wanted To Be Out, Educated By Experience And Adventure, And I Didn't Know How To Express That.

When I Was About Fifteen, I Went To Work At Yosemite National Park. It Changed Me Forever. Nature Had Carved Its Own Sculpture, And I Was Part Of It, Not The Other Way Around.
