- I was doing a play at the time this came out called How I Got My Story, which was about Vietnam. I went to see it for research and found it the most unbelievably moving and harrowing film. I saw it before Apocalypse Now (1979), which is also great, but The Deer Hunter (1978), from a human point of view, really captured the awfulness of the Vietnam War: the cost in lives and the mental scars it left. And there are three of the greatest performances that I have ever seen on screen: Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep and Christopher Walken.
- Harvey Weinstein represented everything I came to hate about movies. If he owned a movie, he owned everyone in it.
