Jimmy Caan, when he worked with James in New York, told me how much he liked him. He's his favorite young director since Coppola. He says, 'Jimmy Gray's the kind of guy who gets so excited, if the take goes good, he has to stuff a towel in his mouth to stop from laughing to spoil the take.' It was a fun set to work with."
On recently winning an Emmy for his role in the AMC miniseries Broken Trail: "I was a little nervous, to tell you the truth, usually I'm not. But the point is, it's a different crowd -- some of the people got up there and did something and everybody laughs, and I don't know what they're laughing at. But it was good, because many years ago, we never won an Emmy for Lonesome Dove, which was bewilderment to me, I mean, if you're going to go for awards, that would be it. But I love Westerns. I really love Westerns...it was nice to win something for something you like." On Assassination Tango: "Some people didn't like it, but I guess it's like anything some people did, some people didn't. I guess more people went for The Apostle [the other film he directed], but I liked Assassination Tango, too.

And somebody said, 'Well why didn't you just do a documentary,' and well, that's kind of a strange thing to say, because it's not that easy to get that kind of behavior within real time. But I enjoyed making that movie. "Down [in South America], it's a very quiet thing, the tango. It's not all this stuff. In the clubs you go and you just watch the old guys walk. At the beginning and ending of the dance is the walk. And now, since the '50s, it's gotten into tango for export, it's much more energetic for the young people. They do it very well. But still, based on the old guys, it was a different thing. I know one little girl down there, I used her in the movie, she danced over the end credits...Geraldine Roja, she's great. And I used to go behind the door and practice, I'd be embarrassed [to tango in front of her]. And she learned from the clubs. On his future projects with his Butcher's Run Films production company: "We're working on something now, maybe as a movie, maybe as a two-part miniseries, on this whole border thing. We went down to the border, I mean, it's so complex, mind-boggling. Nobody has a solution and everybody's guilty of everything, both political parties, everybody. I don't know what the answer is, but we went down there, and we would drive one sherriff 300 ... |
