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.

I love to prune. I have a physical need to do things.
Bill Pullman -
Fox was interested in a different title to 'Independence Day.'
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.
Bill Pullman -
It's astounding how challenging plays are... The scary part is that you get to encounter humanity in a way you don't in films. The audience amplifies the experience.
Bill Pullman -
Growing things and being able to live off the land has always appealed to me.
Bill Pullman -
If you are in an Edward Albee play, you say Edward Albee is the greatest playwright of all time... If you're in an Israel Horovitz play, you say Israel Horovitz is the greatest playwright of all time.

I never imagined myself in films. My benchmarks were performances I saw in the theater.
Bill Pullman -
The military is a discrete entity. Then they come back, and they're such a small percentage of the population, and they can't really - it's hard for them to talk to civilians.
Bill Pullman -
It's funny: When I first heard they were thinking of me for the president in 'Independence Day,' I just assumed it was a comedy - I didn't exactly think of myself as leader-of-the-free-world material.
Bill Pullman -
Stacy Keach was really fun to work with, and Henry Winkler was very fun.
Bill Pullman -
American audiences and European and Asian audiences are so different.

Bill Pullman -
There's always a certain kind of homework you have to do when there's an accent involved.
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.
Bill Pullman -
I've always been what they call a late bloomer.
Bill Pullman -
Othello is someone who's just had a victory, and it's the aftermath of coming back and attempting to live comfortably as a civilian.
Bill Pullman -
I was brought up in a very small town in upstate New York.
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.
Bill Pullman -
I'm not a gardener. I don't have the consistency for gardening, and I have barely enough for an orchard. I don't embarrass myself. You have to be there tending and weeding. With orchards, you can go through negligent periods and recover.
Bill Pullman -
I wake up as soon as it gets light.
Bill Pullman -
It's hard to explain to people how, if you're really capable of providing the right professional work environment, it allows you to get more personal.
