I don’t know that many people see it as a comedy, but—
Ohhh! Good for you, to mention that word, comedy. Of course that’s the foundation and the spine of the movie, yes.
The line that I liked from the disc, Dwight Yoakam says, “Human behavior is so ridiculous and absurd at times,” and you answered, “Otherwise, Dwight, there would be no divinity.”
Oh, no, I don’t remember having said that, but it sounds like it makes sense. Yeahhh. I’d forgotten about that. Dwight and I did that. I’d forgotten.
And the girl was there too, but not much.
Oh January [Jones]. She’s not an overly loquacious girl.
Not much room between you and Dwight.
Dwight’s awfully good company.
Are you a fan of Cormac McCarthy?
Well, I’ve read all of his books and I’ve read most of the criticism that’s written about them—I don’t think if you take literature seriously, fan is not quite the right word, but yeah I like his work a great deal.
