जीवनी

Lived with Jessica Lange from 1982 to 2009.

Suffered from fear of flying.

As of 2005 was living with Jessica Lange and their children outside of Stillwater, MN.

He did the rodeo circuit, riding broncs and bulls, including performing in Salinas, CA--the hometown of E.M. Frederic and John Steinbeck.

Has a son named Jesse Mojo Shepard (May 1970) from his marriage to O-Lan Jones and two children, Hannah Jane Shepard (January 11, 1986) and Samuel Walker Shepard (June 14, 1987), from his longtime relationship with Jessica Lange.

Collaboration--that's the word producers use. That means, "Don't forget to kiss ass from beginning to end".

Personality is everything that's false in a human, everything that's been added on to him and contrived.

[Aug. 1970 interview in "Playboy" magazine] The people the critics write for aren't important to me. As far as I'm concerned, Broadway just doesn't exist.

[on working in films] It's all about narcissism. Terrence Malick called it "sanctioned vanity". Everything is attended to. "Would you like some Perrier? Anything we can do? May we throw ourselves on the ground in front of you?". This unbelievable barrage of indulgence.

I was different on drugs-crystal Methedrine, which had more of an edge. When you walked down the street, your heels made sparks.
