Chris Eyre Quotations

At exactly 5:30, because I was watching my watch very closely, I just felt the entire building shaking and it looked like the entire ceiling just moved,

That really meant a lot to him and to me, ... Those are the great kids we have here at Beaver High School. Great kids.

I looked at the ceiling and expected it to fall.

The Sheraton Hotel took very good care of us. I feel like I owe my life to the Sheraton Hotel, I do, ... My airline pulled out on me, but out there, hotels pulled out and abandoned their guests. Hotels all around us... I would much rather have had my airline pull out on me than my hotel.

I tried to get them to book a flight into Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and they just said, 'There are no flights,'

I can remember, we walked by one little shop and the owner was just sitting there on the steps with his head in his hands like he didn't know what he was going to do. I felt so sorry for him.

There aren't a lot of alternative roles for Indian actors. I think we've fallen short of portraying Indians in the media. We don't need to make another Dances With Wolves, because it's not an Indian movie. When Indians portray themselves, then we have a different perspective. I've been asked about making period pieces but I've never read one that wasn't about guilt, and I'm not trying to make a guilt film.

We need to give out portrayal of ourselves. Every non-Indian writer writes about 1860 to 1890 pretty much, and there is no non-Indian writer that can write movies about contemporary Indians. Only Indians can. Indians are usually romanticized. Non-Indians are totally irrepsonsible with the appropriation of Indians, because any time tou have an Indian in a movie, it's political. They're not used as people, they're used as points.

In Salt Lake City, a lady said, 'There's a hurricane in Florida,' and I said, 'Oh, I'm glad I'm not going to Florida,' and I didn't think any more about it, ... I didn't have any idea that a hurricane was even approaching when I got there. I wasn't aware of it, not at all.
