"Two of my boys are out fishing right now," Costner said with a grin in an interview at the Carlton Hotel."And the three girls found their way onto a boat. So dad's in here, stumping for his movie."
"I thank God for Cannes. I'm an independent filmmaker, essentially, and I'm here by myself," said Costner, whose film was to premiere Sunday."So this is a high moment for me because it's helping me create awareness for a movie. I don't have all the money in the world to expose this movie. But I have my time and a platform here.
COSTNER: No, it wasn't an easy decision, but it was the decision I needed to make. It's like, wow, why am I having to do this? I think I'm making mainstream entertainment. I don't know what you felt about the movie but I felt like it's really mainstream. I don't feel that I'm an avant-garde type of a person. But yet I think my things are a little off. I'm willing to see a woman bathe because her desire to be clean was so pronounced.
AP: Since directing"Dances With Wolves," you've directed"Open Range" and starred in"Wyatt Earp" and"Yellowstone." What keeps bringing you back to the West? COSTNER: Confusion about it. The colonel says,"If we salt the earth with enough of their dead, the wagons won't come anymore." When you're that far out there, you can't go. When people said goodbye in the East Coast, they didn't come back. So the confusion for the Native American was they couldn't make sense of that. Normally if you kill enough people they won't bother you. But these Americans, these people were getting flyers saying you could have this land.
AP: What I'm getting at is there's tragedy in this. Do you see westward expansion and your film as a tragedy?
