20th had huge doubts about LOTM during the editing and testing process. This went on for months. Audiences were appalled with the violence. (unknown)
As we were leaving the Huron camp, it was awkward filming. I think that the Huron watching us was there to create tension - maybe we wouldn't get out. Nothing complicated. (unknown)
Because of the tension and difficulty, I remember trying to do the silliest things when we weren't rolling cameras, anything to lift the spirits. But once on set, it was important to have full concentration. (work)
Daniel and I simply expressed what we felt was appropriate for the scene and Dante Spinotti had an innate sense of where to place the camera. And as I remembered, he used a hand-held to get a sense of raw beauty. (work)

Daniel was a wonderful and trustworthy partner. And a fine prankster as well. (acting and actors)
David kept nagging me, saying that he fully believed in the project. I read it twice more, then finally sat down with Michael to discuss the film. (movies)
Difficulty also creates its own kind of beauty, I suppose. And while I don't revisit it unless asked, there is this sense of apartness I felt during that period of time from our own world. (beauty)
For the first two weeks of filming, I remember bristling at some of the occurrences on the set, none of which directly involved me. Then I surrendered to the environment, to Michael's method, and became much happier, even though no one knew what to expect. (work)
He also didn't like a lock of my hair and said that he couldn't get into the moment without the hair being just right. I quietly knew that he was anxious and that the hairdo wasn't the real issue. But we all let it go and came back to the scene sometime later. (work)
He was also very clear that the decision to cast me as Cora was all Michael's. (work)
I cannot tell you where my interpretation of Cora began and Michael's ended. I often times felt as if he were in the scenes with us, such was his imprint. So when I said, "I feel like everything I tried to do is there", it is less because of what I did than it is a case of Michael keeping his word. (work)
I don't really recall the Uncas and Alice relationship very well as written. Somewhere, I have the memory of making some kind of joke about "A romance for everyone", but it seems to me, that there was to be an attraction that was never acted upon between the two characters. (character)
I don't recall who taught me how to fire the flint-lock, I apologize. We had fantastic crew members like Mickey Pew, the propmaster, who could produce anything Michael asked for with a "Mickey Pew, with you, sir". (unknown)
I genuinely liked all of the cast members very much. Steve had a wicked sense of humor. I remember Russell coming to my rescue, once. I watched Eric evolve before everyone's eyes. Maurice loved what he did, so. He treated his character with respect, down to the costuming. (unknown)
I have this recollection of feeling a kind of shock when I arrived in Asheville. An entire hillside had been deforested in order to build the fort. That gave me a bit of a jolt, and I instantly started jumping to all kinds of conclusions about this huge machine which had started rolling. (unknown)
I know that Michael met with the studio again and drew the line. In any event, Joe Roth was very proud of the film and the studio had a happy ending. (unknown)
I phoned Joe Roth, who was head of the studio at the time, and told him how beautiful the film was, and that I was fully ready to support it, that Michael's work was wonderful and I imagined that Daniel would feel the same. He listened quietly and read between the lines. (unknown)
I remember Eric sitting in the outer office. He was a striking and interesting young man and someone was asking him if it was appropriate to say "Native American" when referring to his people and he said, "No. Indian". (unknown)
I remember feeling that Michael was extremely sensitive when it came to that moment. Most directors are and they usually rely, at least in my experience, on the actress to take over. And Michael is a gentleman. (acting and actors)
I remember nearly having a fit of the giggles during the reading because dear Daniel was SO respectful and serious and I was finding the whole situation funny because I was speaking to his profile. (acting and actors)
I remember that she had these lovely eyelids, lovely eyes, and was still on that border of shedding a kind of gawkiness. She's spectacular on that cliff with Wes. I saw her a year later and she'd completely grown up. The transition was made and she was beguiling. (unknown)
I remember the day vividly and how proud Russell felt to be an actor. Something clicked in him as he gave his last speech, and he was so happy. (actors)
I thought what an interesting choice Waddington was for Duncan. Such a complete surprise to me. While I didn't know it at the time, Daniel had suggested to Michael that I play Cora before we had ever met. (unknown)
I'm reticent to say much more, but we would like to begin in the coming year. We'd like to shoot through the seasons because of the passage of time. This project is the great love of my life. (work)
I've never returned to the locations. I do remember certain days more clearly than others and certain locations with a sense of nostalgia. Perhaps one day, I'll bring my daughter to see them, if she's interested. (unknown)
