You Know, the Kennedys Have Endured Such a Large Amount of Tabloidism Over the Last Twenty Years. but My Feeling Is That No Matter What Anybody Thinks About the Kennedys, in Those Thirteen Days They Were Absolutely Golden. and If Other Individuals Had Been in That Position, I Think the Legacy We Would Have Been Sharing in the Year 2000 Instead of All the Bright Lights and Parties When We Hit the Millennium Would Be 150 Million People Dead. It Would Make the Vietnam War Pale in Comparison. and If Other Men Had Been in Power, They Would Have Swallowed Hook, Line and Sinker the Recommendations of the Military. Interview with David Giammarco, Cigar Aficionado Magazine, Nov/Dec. 2000.

I Can’t Say I Really See Much Difference Between My Son and Daughters Except That My Girls Will Occasionally Make Me a Sandwich and My Son Won’t.

I Don’t Prefer to Be Known as a Conservative. I’m Not a Republican. I Basically Was Raised in a House That Was a Republican House. My Politics Came Out My Kitchen Table, Listening to My Parents. I Thought the People That Protested Against the Vietnam War Were Unpatriotic Because My Brother Was Fighting Over in Vietnam. I Was Only 14 Years Old. as I Got Time and Distance I Realized It Was Just a Difference of Opinion and Their Opinion Wasn’t Necessarily Wrong. as a Person Evolves They Begin to Have Their Own Voice and Their Own Way of Thinking. I Wasn’t Ahead of My Time.

My Movies Are Isolated. They All Sit by Themselves a Little Bit. I Don’t Have Three Movies Coming Along Behind Each Other Just in Case One of Them Doesn’t Work. I Haven’t Tried to Manipulate My Career. I Wouldn’t Really Know How to Do That. That Doesn’t Seem Very Heroic to Me! Meaning It Feels Kinda Chicken. That’s Kinda Chickenshit.

The Opening Weekend Is a Hard One for Me. Especially When You Take a Lot of Time with a Movie. I Don’t Know How It Is with Other People’s Movies. It’s Like, You Don’t Know How Other People Make Love Because You’ve Only Made Love Yourself and so Unless You’ve Watched Them, How Do You Know If You’re Doing It Right? I Know How I Try to Make a Movie; I Know How I Lose Sleep Over It; I Know How I Deliberate for Hours Over the Difference Between Saying ‘She Went Over There’ or Saying ‘She’s Gone’. and People Will Ask Say, What’s the Difference, Kevin? Well, It’s a Big Difference to Me, to Find That Exactly Right Line. and When You Work Hard on Things Like That, It’s Frustrating to Me That a Movie Can Be Dismissed so Easily. These Movies for Me Are Like the Same Kind of Pictures My Mom Put up on the Refrigerator. I’m Really Proud of Them and If They Get Dismissed, and Even Though You’re Not Eight Years Old Anymore, It Hurts.

Every Year, I Mark off Two Weeks in June for Omaha. People Ask Me Why. It’s for the College World Series. I Like to Attend If Cal State Fullerton Makes It. It’s One of the Best Sporting Events in the Country. I Highly Recommend Everyone to Attend It at Least Once in Their Lifetime.

It Would Take a Lot for Me to Vote for a Republican These Days. My Views Don’t Line up with What They Believe. I Believe in Civil Rights, Gun Control, Protecting the Environment, Affordable Education, Not Fighting in All These Wars, Fair Taxation and the Republicans Take Stances Opposite of My Views on Almost All Those Issues.

I Grew up in Orange County, a Very Republican Area at the Time. My Parents Were Republicans. I Participated in Young Republicans in College. I Voted for Reagan and Bush Sr. However, I Looked More and More at My Own Beliefs and They Just Didn’t Line up with Republican Ideology. I Changed My Affiliation to Independent After I Voted for Bill Clinton in 1992. These Days, I Would Call Myself a Moderate Democrat, but I’m Still Registered as an Independent.

Bad Guys, If They’re Drawn Correctly, Are Not so Much Evil…as They Are People with Problems Which They Just Don’t Think Anybody Else Understands. the Most Memorable Villains Aren’t Mere Conveniences for the Good Guys to Knock Down; Standout Villains Are Always Formidable, Because They Need to Be. That’s What We Want to See in the Movies: a Level of Detail to Which We Can Relate; Because, If Our Hero Clobbers an Utter Buffoon, Where’s the Tension and Suspense?
