Dennis Hopper

To make a documentary is one thing, to make a feature film is quite another.

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

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.

Work is fun to me. All those years of being an actor and a director and not being able to get a job - two weeks is too long to not know what my next job will be.
