데니스 호퍼의 1999년 인터뷰 중에서.

TONY: Hey, wasn't that great, that Ed Harris won a Golden Globe?

DENNIS: Yeah, it was terrific ? with a part I got fired from. [laughs] Now, do you think that historians will know that in The Truman Show, with Jim Carrey, that the part Ed Harris played, and we're happy that he won the award for, that I was fired from after shooting one day?

TONY: Shit. Oh, man! You were supposed to do that part?

DENNIS: [laughs] I started it. I did months and months of preparation. I went down and saw Peter Weir twice in Florida. I spent six months on that picture, and then did one day shooting, and Scott Rudin, the producer, who I'd never even met, he never wanted me for the part. He said he would wait for one day's rushes, and if he didn't want me in the picture he was going to fire me ? and he did. Anyway, that's my story. But I enjoyed the picture, and I thought Ed was really good in it. I think he's a terrific actor.

TONY: He is. And he's a good guy.

DENNIS: Yup. I like him very much. But it was the first time ... It was the only time in my life I've ever been fired.

TONY: We could leave this out.

DENNIS: Don't worry about it. It's the reality. What does it matter? And I'm happy for him. I really am.
