I bought the rights to this book, ‘The Ploughmen,’ by a Montana writer named Kim Zupan, and I’ve written the screenplay, and I really feel pretty strong about it. It’s really hauntingly beautiful. It’s got some suspense and great drama, but it’s a real character thing.
In Montana, when we did ‘Return to Lonesome Dove’, we rode on the side of a hill at night in the dark; I was afraid my horse would step on one of the actors playing dead. The director said to leave it to the stunt doubles since they got paid for that.

What I’ve learned, traveling the country and doing book signings, Mama’s biscuits – you know, somebody in Montana’s got their version of Mama’s biscuits, somebody in California’s got their version – so it made me realize that we’re not as regionalized as we think we are.
I just like to have one foot in Montana and one foot out.

The theory was that he’d benefit from hanging out someplace a little more down to earth.

From the time I was a kid, I was crazy about anything having to do with the West. I’d look at all of these photos of Montana, and they all seemed so magical and majestic.

It was like I was Hannah Montana! I was a normal girl from Pittsburgh one minute and then a pop star the next!

If you flatten out the tax rates… and you start eliminating the different write-offs that are allowed to take place there, you make it so the special exemptions have gone away. It’s better for business, and it’s better for Montana.

It’s no secret that in the NFL playoffs, the pressure’s on. The guys who can rise above that pressure and play mistake-free when it counts the most build legends for themselves: Think Joe Montana, Tom Brady, or Adam Vinatieri.
