Harry Dean Stanton Quotes

I was offered a series by John Carpenter after I did the movie Christine, and I would've been a leading man after that. I would have played a private investigator. And I was offered a great deal - I would be involved in the direction, casting, everything, and whatever. It was whatever an actor wants, and I didn't take it.
