More quotes by Sam Shepard
My dad's side of the family ... they're a real bizarre bunch, going back to the original colonies. That side's got a real tough strain of alcoholism. It goes back generations and generations, so that you can't remember when there was a sober grandfather.
Sam Shepard
Words are tools of imagery in motion.
Sam Shepard
When you hit a wall – of your own imagined limitations – just kick it in.
Sam Shepard
Keep away from fantasy. Shake off the image.
Sam Shepard
I'm a writer. The more I act, the more resistance I have to it. If you accept work in a movie, you accept to be entrapped for a certain part of time, but you know you're getting out. I'm also earning enough to keep my horses, buying some time to write.
Sam Shepard
I had a definite sense of somehow being a passenger in an evil vehicle crusing through Paradise.
Sam Shepard
Love is the only disease that makes you feel better.
Sam Shepard
I didn't go out of my way to get into this movie stuff. I think of myself as a writer.
Sam Shepard
It's one of the great tragedies of our contemporary life in America, that families fall apart. Almost everybody has that in common.
Sam Shepard
When you see the way things deteriorate before your very eyes. Everything running down hill. It's kind of silly to even think about youth.
Sam Shepard
I like cars. I like travel. I like the idea of people breaking down and I'm the only one who can help them get on the road again. It would be like being a magician. Just open up the hood and cast your magic spell.
Sam Shepard
I've heard writers talk about discovering a voice, but for me that wasn't a problem. There were so many voices that I didn't know where to start.
Sam Shepard
Sides are being divided now. It's very obvious. So if you're on the other side of the fence, you're suddenly anti-American. It's breeding fear of being on the wrong side.
Sam Shepard
She refers to her past as the time before she was blown away.
Sam Shepard
You can’t keep messing me around like this. It’s been going on too long. I can’t take it anymore. I get sick every time you come around. Then I get sick when you leave. You’re like a disease to me.
Sam Shepard
The great thing for me, now, is that writing has become more and more interesting. Not just as a craft but as a way into things that are not described. It's a thing of discovering. That's when writing is really working. You're on the trail of something and you don't quite know what it is.
Sam Shepard
When you consider all the writers who never even had a machine. Who would have given an eyeball for a good typewriter. Any typewriter. All the ones who wrote on a matchbook covers. Paper bags. Toilet paper. Who had their writing destroyed by their jailers. Who persisted beyond all odds.
Sam Shepard
I got to New York when I was eighteen. I was knocking around, trying to be an actor, writer, musician, whatever happened.
Sam Shepard
I was shot in the wrist when I was a kid. Deliberately.
Sam Shepard
I don't get offered leading parts. I suppose I've become a kind of character actor or sideman. I think it had to do with probably in the '90s, I refused so many leading roles that they gave up on me, or I just became unpopular, or I became old. All those reasons.
