'Easy Rider' was never a motorcycle movie to me. A lot of it was about politically what was going on in the country.

Easy Rider.

There isn't a lot written about the motorcycle culture.

Independent films in this country are in the same position. Miramax and Fine Line are not independent - they're with Disney! Come on. Or they're with Warner Brothers. They're all with somebody.

Rooting for the Cubs is not easy, but the best things in life never are.

When I was a kid going to the movies, we'd go because Bogart was in the movie, or Cagney, or John Wayne. We didn't know what the story was about or anything.
