That's certainly true with some of my favourite films that might relate to this [The Assassination of Jesse James] film in terms of cadence like Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, or McCabe & Mrs Miller or Days of Heaven. I found them 10 to 20 years after they were made.”
-- Brad Pitt -

-- Brad Pitt -

-- Brad Pitt -
“There are certain aspects of celebrity that I understand, although that's not the main point of the story [ in Assassination of Jesse James] , but it is one of the by products.

-- Brad Pitt -

I think that's what's key to what we do: It's got to be personal.”
-- Brad Pitt -
