Wes was one of the first cast members I remember having a conversation with - such a great face. There were Colm Meany and Pete Posthelwaite - fantastic Brits.

We were all so different, temperamentally from one another, it's impossible to believe that we were together for so long. The cast and crew. How could we be more different from one another? It's difficult to imagine. But something lovely came of it.

There would be no future for her without her right to self-determination. This is how I remember it. She wouldn't surrender her will. But, you need to ask Jodhi. I can only remember the superficial conversations Michael had. I certainly don't know what he told her in private.

There were mornings in the make-up trailer where I'd have fits of laughter because of the extraordinary daily events of the shoot. Sometimes, it was all too much to believe. But the wildest things happened.

Madeleine Stowe 83 quotes

There were long wardrobe fittings where Michael would have us hold bolts of fabric up to our bodies. James Acheson is hugely talented and he had the daunting task of assembling his crew to make these period costumes from scratch.

There were guys like Chunky Hews in the electrical dept. and Danny Eccleston who would enthrall us with fantastic stories of great English directors and their experiences. They were wild boys grown up.

There came a point in time, with all the difficulty, all the frustration, where I was quite content to be where I was. I suppose one could call it a kind of enchantment, I don't know. The shoot was so difficult on the crew and the extras.

Madeleine Stowe 83 quotes

There came a point in time when Michael was under a great deal of pressure to alter the film in a way that was just disturbing to him. I had not seen the movie, yet. He phoned me in July of '92 to look at his version.

The weather was turning cold and I remember that Dante was using nothing but natural light as his electric department was away, prepping the scene in the cave. We stayed on that rock for the whole day.

The scene was attempted a second time, up on top of the fort, and cameras didn't even roll. Michael, though he wasn't admitting it, wasn't sure how to shoot the scene.

Madeleine Stowe 83 quotes

The reading was simple, and Michael was very specific with his direction (he chose the scene where Hawkeye tells Cora about his background).

Madeleine Stowe 83 quotes

The next day at work, I went straight to Daniel and told him so, saying something to the effect that 'It was my fault'. We told Michael my opinion (and this was unusual), he thought it over, watched dailies (which we were not allowed to see) and came back and said 'You're right'.

Madeleine Stowe 83 quotes

The moment with Hawkeye is all...

The moment with Hawkeye is all about mutual attraction, expressed without filter from him, and a surrendering of social guardedness from Cora. She accepts his directness as her own.

Madeleine Stowe 83 quotes

The location was very difficult to get to. I recall rock-climbing a good deal of the way in that long skirt, and I felt terrible for the crew members who had to haul the heavy equipment. For some reason, they couldn't get there by helicopter.

Madeleine Stowe 83 quotes

The Kiss scene was attempted t...

The Kiss scene was attempted three times. The first was in a peculiar spot of the fort on the ground level. It felt forced to me, and I knew right away that, in spite of what others were saying, it was dead wrong.

Madeleine Stowe 83 quotes

The emotion, and surrender was what was important to Michael and I believe he used most or all of what we shot.

Madeleine Stowe 83 quotes

The best directors I've worked with have always had a strong sense of music and movement. These two things are inseparable. And Michael used them so effectively in LOTM, particularly during the last ten minutes of the film.

Madeleine Stowe 83 quotes

Sometimes I'll turn the channel and there's the movie and I can honestly say that those last few minutes always fascinate me. It's one of the rare instances when image, music, and drama work effectively.

Madeleine Stowe 83 quotes

Sometimes he'd launch into a discourse, a convoluted discourse about something or other, and I had no idea what he was saying. I'd tease him about it, 'What on earth are you talking about?' And he was capable of blushing.

Madeleine Stowe 83 quotes

Some of the imagery was inspired by Wyeth's illustrations. The best of which, I think, is the moment when Magua stands before Chingachgook to accept his death blow.
