Luke Wilson on his cast

[Above: Harry Dean Stanton and Seymour Cassel]

On brothers Owen and Andrew:
“We all kind of got similar tastes and ways of working and are interested more in semi-offbeat characters.”

On Harry Dean Stanton:
“One time I was getting on Harry Dean. He claimed that me, Owen and Andrew were like three Dobermans. He called us ‘Lothar, Guntz and Deiter.’ And he said, ‘Look, Lothar. I’m a highly f—ing trained professional actor and that’s why I work all the time.’ And I was like, ‘I get it, Harry Dean. That’s why I hired you, cause I like you.’ [He] drove me crazy.”

On Will Ferrell:
"You get on the set and you got Will who I met on Old School. It’s exhilarating in that you put yourself on the line and call in these favors and then you think, ‘I can’t believe he agreed to do it!’ That’s one of the great things you realize about doing a movie is that it really is a collaboration. That’s one of the blessings.”

On Kris Kristofferson:
“Kris had to miss the first day of shooting because he was dealing with the Johnny Cash funeral. The Cash family had asked him to be the main speaker at the funeral. Harry Dean had gotten Kristofferson his first movie role in Cisco Pike around ‘71. And then I found out Kris produced and bankrolled Billy Joe Shaver’s first album on Monument Records. So there were all these nice connections. I felt all these guys were meant to be together.”
