...somehow having to communicate through writing. That?s the need for writing. And I find the characters I write also have that quality, of being somewhat or very much removed from the mainstream of life, and don?t know quite how to find themselves in society. Outsiders I guess. Not in any kind of fashionable way, but a real remoteness from the mainstream...
...actor I realized I was doing more films in Toronto and Alberta than I was in America and it was very disappointing because it?s so great to be able to go to the actual place where the thing takes place.

I read it, and we wrote Annie Proulx our letter asking if we could option it an hour later...
...sneakers in a Calgary sporting-goods store, the penny dropped: "I thought, holy s___, that's exactly like the Coastal [Indian] color scheme," he says. Prototypes is a tribute, in part, to the "pockets of the third world in Canada ... where artifacts for the native-art industry are produced." Guess that's something to ponder when you're browsing through the airport souvenir shop. www.vanartgallery.bc.ca
