“I doubt that means actors are going to be stampeding to play gay cowboys or even gay roles. But they'll be looking for material as honest and powerful as this film offers.”
Jake Gyllenhaal
“Until this movie I have played a boxer, a cowboy, a knight, a prince, an elf and a pirate. I am so glad to have done all of that already, and am ready for this phase of my career.”
Orlando Bloom
“Perhaps the truth really is, Americans don?t want cowboys to be gay.”
Larry McMurtry
“It's a total Cinderella story because it's still gay cowboys. Try that at a pitch meeting. Try predicting to anyone (before the movie's release) that it would sweep all the nominations. One of the reasons the movie's surprising everyone is that they put it in a box, and it doesn't belong there.”
Ray Price
“Americans don't want cowboys to be gay.”
“The gay cowboys are way out front in the race now, as in the past 20 years, the movie with the most nominations has gone on to win best picture 17 times.”
Tom O'Neil
“Those gay cowboys are still ahead in the race, as most of the ballots were probably sent in during the first two weeks of voting when the movie was enjoying its awards bump from its Golden Globes win.”
