    From Film Pigs:

    No pun intended, but being a gay cowboy is really hard. Especially when you’ve only got a couple of camping trips to try and generate some kind of meaningful relationship with a guy who mumbles worse than Brando. Seriously, can anybody understand what the hell Heath Ledger is saying? Was it just a big misunderstanding? Did he really only want Jake Gyllenhaal’s dry cleaning? And where the hell was the posse? We thought this was a western. Even a gay western should have a posse.

    That’s some pretty sheep. It’d be cool if this was a movie about a cowboy and a sheep. It would. And a love triangle. … You know what that movie would be called? Ewe Complete Me. — Film Pigs,

    I tell ya, if I had a dime for every time this happened to me when I went campin’ with the guys, [laughter] I’d be a rich, rich man. — Film Pigs,

    I don’t feel they’re actually attracted to one another. … Your main complaint about this movie is that it’s not gay enough? — Film Pigs,

    Rodeo clowns! It would be great if the movie just shifted focus completely and became about a rodeo clown … and his rodeo clown friends. … And they team up together to solve crimes. — Film Pigs,

    Canada’s pretty. Why do you say this is Canada over and over? … They shot the beautiful Wyoming in Canada. Because the actual Wyoming is just covered in Starbucks by now. [laughter] There’s three on that lake. — Film Pigs,
