The landscape of Texas is in all my work. It's that light; it's that sky.
It's just a little ranch. Thirty-five acres. In Texas, if it's not a thousand acres, it's considered a ranchette.
You know, west Texas is already beautiful to view from the ground. I can't even imagine what it must look like as you're floating down to Earth in a capsule making its return trip from outer space.
I don't hate anything about Texas. I love my state. I love my area. It's like home.
I still call Texas home. It is where I spent most of my life growing up.
For a few precious moments... I am back in Old Texas, under a high sky... where all things are again possible... and the wind blows free.
But I'm a citizen of Texas and try to spend most of my time there.
The sky in Texas is the most amazing sky in the whole country, I think, like you can see more sky in Texas than you can see anywhere else in the world.
In 2005, I visited my home state of Texas, spending time on a ranch outside the town of Post. Then spending some time on a large ranch outside Archer City. I was taken by just how few young people I saw anywhere.
I guess you can't really turn a camera on outside in Texas without getting Terrence Malick comparisons.
I must say as to what I have seen of Texas it is the garden spot of the world. The best land and the best prospects for health I ever saw, and I do believe it is a fortune to any man to come here. There is a world of country here to settle.
