Peter Fonda

People ask me from time to time what it was like growing up with Henry Fonda as my father. I say, Ever see Fort Apache? He was like Colonel Thursday.

My abilities grow with each job, whether it's writing or directing. When I stop learing, I'll stop working.

Every director is so different from every other one.

I always seemed to disappoint them. They expected me to be different than Henry or exactly like Henry. I was neither.

My actual intake of different substances was far below what people thought it was, no matter how weird or outrageous they think I am.

I wasn't really aware that my father was working for quite a while. I thought it was my mother who had all the money!

I know I'm responsible for not having got the kind of roles that I'd have liked to. '

Lennon was not very fond of me. Lennon didn't like to be around somebody else who was likely to be the center of attention and didn't like being on deck with somebody who was intellectually as hot as he was.

I was famous from birth.

I love to direct my daughter, and act with her, and we both want to work with Jane again.

I want to die in the saddle. I love writing, producing, acting, directing.

The word courage - God, I love that word. Words are so important to me.
