Harry Dean Stanton

“The void, the concept of nothingness, is terrifying to most people. And I get a kick out of it.”

“There is no self. There's no you, there's no me. The only thing that is is the all, and we are that.”

“Everything is preordained. Nothing is an accident.”

“I've been lucky. I've been in some movies that are considered classics.”

“All you have is yourself and what you are.”

“I just want to say, you're all bastards.”

“I'm a romantic. I'm a Tennessee Williams type of romantic.”

“It's all a movie. It's all a goddamn movie.”

“I don't act. I behave.”

“You just have to be yourself.”

“This whole thing is a dream. It’s an illusion.”

“I know I've got a death sentence. Everybody does.”

“It's all about letting go.”

“Aw, hell, I don't know. I just play the notes. I'm not a singer, I'm a storyteller.”

“There's no such thing as 'you're a character actor.' We're all character actors.”
