Hey I'm a Catholic deer hunter I am happy to be clinging to my guns and my religion.

Coming Home had been made before and Apocalypse Now and Deer Hunter different kinds of movies.

Charles Laughton who's a great hero of mine only ever made one film and it happens to be one of the great films ever which is 'The Night of the Hunter.'

I wanted to be a great white hunter a prospector for gold or a slave trader. But then when I was eight my parents sent me to a boarding school in South Africa. It was the equivalent of a British public school with cold showers beatings and rotten food. But what it also had was a library full of books.

Ever consider what pets must think of us? I mean here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul - chicken pork half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!
