Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.
When I knew nothing, I thought I could do anything.
The money part is one of the most difficult things. Coppola always said I should do a tango movie. If it hadn't been for him, I don't know where we would have gotten the money.
