El Paso is the final Wild, Wild West city.
Besides good schools, a good airport, and the Cowboys, Dallas had golf courses, and golf was fast becoming an obsession with me.
I love Houston.
I grew up in Texas City, Texas. I didn't know anybody who was a director or whose parents or grandparents were directors. I met somebody from a nearby town one time whose father had been to the moon - it was far more likely to be an astronaut than it was to be a writer or a director.
Fort Worth is friendly; it's still a Texas town. It's the most Texas city in Texas.
Dallas is a huge city. Great shopping, great restaurants, great museums.
I always say I'll never make a film in Austin in summer, but I always end up here.
Dallas is a good town. I spent a lot of time there as a kid. It always nice to come back.
