Dennis Hopper - biography

“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.”

“’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.”

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

“It blew my mind when he died.  Still does.  He woulda been a great director.  On ‘Giant’, I was 18, he was 24.  I watched him act, he watched me and told me when he thought I was good; like he was a sorta teacher and I was a student.  I learned a lot from the guy - and it sure got me into trouble!”
