'The Virginian' has a very important romantic story line that you don't find in a lot of Westerns... At the heart of the story is quite a bit of pain and a sense of loss.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
The idea of taking classic American stories and reinterpreting them for a time and place is not just commercially viable. These stories also carry a sensual nature of what it meant to be an American, and they deserve to be reinterpreted.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
There's something that comes into you that's so exciting when you're directing.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
There's always a certain kind of homework you have to do when there's an accent involved.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I've done a lot of different kinds of things, so different people remember me for different things.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I watched John Wayne movies, matinees - things like that. It was only in college that I saw European films. That became more of what I was interested in.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I'm fascinated by movies and enjoy that, of course, but always, the measure of how you are functioning in the arts was theater.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I was doing this children's theater play, and it was non-Equity. We were out of town to do it at the Kennedy Center, and it was always kind of, 'Well, the producers may have to turn this into Equity,' and that's what happened. It was kind of a silly children's theater play, but that's how I got my card.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I did this play, 'Expedition 6,' that I worked on for three years in between other things. It was a good, interesting time for me because I trained as a theater director, and I went back, and we toured it around.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
Sometimes when you really try to be earnest, everything disappears. If you really try to make a romantic movie, the first thing that goes out the window is the romance or real passion. It suddenly becomes cute-ville or cozy-ville. It's another world other than life.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I think you do independent movies because you're looking to cut away from commercial movies.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I have never forgotten John Candy's generosity. He showed me how to be a gentle leader.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
A lot of people just ask me about how I can do small budgets and big budgets, but many actors do both. I think the more self-destructive impulse I have is doing so many different characters.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
Sometimes you fall into the niche of being the confidant guy, or the good-looking guy, or being too charactery, or not charactery enough.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
Television tends to be a more difficult medium for me to get my head around sometimes when it comes to certain things I get offered.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I'd have to say that it kills me that there's a concern that 'Torchwood' has gone to America to become Americanised.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I always feel like there's some behaviour that we're all capable - we have our inhibitions protecting from indulging in certain appetites or developing certain appetites.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
You're always carrying something that's interfering. It's like static noise that doesn't have to be there, and you have to school yourself to clean that out.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I've been lucky to have opportunities with David Lynch in 'Lost Highway' and Jennifer Lynch in this movie 'Surveillance,' so I've always boomeranged around a little bit, and no one has caught my foot in the trap yet, but I think if I move fast enough... 'cos I think I got trapped a couple of times.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I did 'Malice,' 'Sommersby,' and 'Sleepless in Seattle,' and they're as disparate characters as I've ever played. But somehow, there was that thing - they were all second male leads, so they all didn't get the girl in some weird way.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I have gotten a number of invitations to be on television shows as 'the dad,' but that was Kryptonite to me. I was like, 'This would be the death of me. I'll be a cesspool of niceness.' It doesn't feed me.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I think about Laura Bush every once in awhile. She is a great supporter of the arts. I did a show at the Eisenhower Theater, and she would make a point of coming backstage. The relationship between Laura and George Bush was always that way where you felt like he was at his best behavior when he was in her company.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I love that vein which uses sci-fi to address society's problems. It is the same when you have useful nightmares - things morph, and you get to confront issues in your dreams.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I think Westerns are always so great for clearing out the clutter and the ambiguities, and getting right to the broad strokes of that kind of situation.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I noticed that in 'The Revenant,' as much as it is a good story of revenge and endurance, there are times that you get to escape with a story like that.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I've been lucky to be a part of many blockbuster movies... in which it's hard to get to that level of being memorable, but I still have fond memories of 'Independence Day,' to be sure. There are also many small ones I've had that give me many fond memories.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I've always been a fan of George C. Scott, who was working in movies when I was in college... films like 'Patton' and 'Hospital.' I was really impressed by him, and I had seen him onstage as well in 'Uncle Vanya.' He was a champ to me.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I really enjoyed doing Albee's 'The Goat.' It's a powerful piece and a really exciting play to do.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I'm often confused with other actors. But the people who know my work don't have that problem.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
'The Last Seduction,' 'Sleepless in Seattle' and 'While You Were Sleeping' did a lot to get me noticed for bigger roles.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I've seen a lot of actors in a lot of different stages of their careers, and I've seen it come and go. People get a sense of entitlement from it. And that's when it starts getting you in trouble.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I have always been impressed by the fruit community. There is a Tao of fruit, which is generous. You share what you know, and you give what you can.
Quote by -Bill Pullman
I planted an orchard when I was 13. The impulse came from wanting to grow my own apples. That and the nursery catalog showed an apple tree with a beautiful girl standing under the fruit. Whether the flavor or the picture that did it, I've been hooked since.
