Was a time when Harry Dean Stanton seemed to be in every film I saw. I’m coming to the end of Twin Peaks at the mo and he’s in that too. A fine actor. RIP.

Paris Texas is my favorite film, will be watching it again tonight. Sad to think both Harry and Sam Shepard are both gone.
The dialogue and acting in the scene between HDS and Nastassja Kinski at the end of the film is as good as it gets really

This is one of the greatest monologues in cinematic history: HDS in Paris, Texas.
Also a recording artiste!… ‘I Hope I Never Get Too Old To Rock and Roll’ is one of my all time favourite tracks.
And Repoman – one of his too-few lead roles – is one of my all-time faves.
A repoman’s life is always intense.
Ordinary fucking people, I hate ’em.
Twin Peaks: The Return has become quite the repository for mourning the passing of great actors.
Y’all want a cup of good morning America?
My favourite opening line from any of the stories I’ve written is “The guy behind the counter looks like Harry Dean Stanton after a rough night”.
I always thought he was cool, and he made it to 91. That’s pretty cool.
