Quotes
Irony is one of my favorite aspects of life.
Wes Studi
In the ’70s, with movies like ‘Little Big Man,’ westerns began to have a little different flavor, and I think casting people and filmmakers began to realize, ‘Hey, maybe we can get a little more authentic in terms of who we cast here.’ That kind of opened up the gates.

I think that the idea of sharing is something that has been lost in our social conscience, and we need to re-think that. We need to learn a new way.
Wes Studi
One of the things I learned early on was the system of believing: you have to believe in what you say. The camera is the arbiter of truth; it’s the all-seeing eye that can pick out discrepancies. You can’t lie to the camera. You must believe in what you’re saying, or the audience won’t believe you.
