I liked the way that film took realistic events and added this slightly out-of-kilter perspective. My character in that film was, in one sense, a caricature of a killer, but there was also a sense of mystery surrounding him that captured the imagination. Fargo (1996) was an exciting experience for me largely because of the approach the Coen brothers took. It was the antithesis of Armageddon (1998/I). It was low-budget, a very guerrilla-style approach to filmmaking that made its own rules and was very specific in what it was trying to accomplish. --on Fargo (1996).
- Peter StormareWhat was frustrating about Armageddon was the time I spent not doing anything. It was a big special effects film, and I wasn`t crazy about pretending I was in outer space. It feels ridiculous.
- Steve BuscemiArmageddon is not around the corner. This is only what the people of violence want us to believe. The complexity and diversity of the world is the hope for the future.
- Michael PalinWe relied on runners and ambulance crews passing on information as they dropped patients off. When the last telephone call you receive said eight bombs have gone off, it sounded like Armageddon.
