More quotes by Sam Shepard
Hollywood is geared toward teenage idiocy.
Sam Shepard
Ive been so spoiled in the theater, writing plays where I can just do exactly what I want and nobody messes with me.
Sam Shepard
Keep away from fantasy. Shake off the image.
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
I feel very lucky and privileged to be a writer. I feel lucky in the sense that I can branch out into prose and tell different kinds of stories and stuff. But being a writer is so great because youre literally not dependent on anybody.
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
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
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
When you die it's the end of your life.
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
When you hit a wall – of your own imagined limitations – just kick it in.
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
Beginnings are definitely the most exciting, middles are perplexing and endings are a disaster.
Sam Shepard
People talk about the 1960s in a nostalgic way, but to me it was terrifying. People were getting assassinated. There was Vietnam. There were race riots. It felt like everything was going to get blown up sky-high. It didn’t feel like flower power. It felt like Armageddon.
Sam Shepard
There's gonna be a general lack of toast in the neighborhood this morning.
Sam Shepard
Words are tools of imagery in motion.
Sam Shepard
There are places where writing is acting and acting is writing. I'm not so interested in the divisions. I'm interested in the way things cross over.
Sam Shepard
It's funny, in a way the actor is a writer. It's not like the two things are so separate as to be like apples and oranges. The writer and the actor are one.
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.
