Harry Dean Stanton

My father and mother were not that compatible. I don't think they had a good wedding night, and I was the product of that. We weren't close.

I was the classic killer. I always played an angry man. I think it was because I used to really be like that - I was hostile. And because I had a good sense of theatrical truth, I used my anger and rebelliousness and just went with it. Anger was just a part of me.

I'm not really into religion.
