James Coburn Quotes


James Coburn

(on Sam Peckinpah) Sam is, I think, a great filmmaker. Of course, he`s his own worst enemy. Sam is an unusual human being, and he needs to be treated like an unusual human being. He can create an atmosphere, whether he`s drunk, sober, pissed off or in a rage, or whatever. I mean, for about three or four hours a day, he`s a fucking genius. But the rest of the time he spends wallowing in a kind of emotional reaction to either good or bad memories.

Actors are boring when they are not working. It`s a natural condition, because they don`t have anything to do. They just lay around, and that`s why so many of them get drunk. They really get to be boring people. My wife will attest to that.

Politics are the biggest waste of time, energy, and money. And the assholes that run the country, I don`t know where they come from. They`re thieving bastards.
