Quote Of The Week : Drugstore Cowboy (1989)

6th August 2009

“Well, to begin with, nobody and i mean nobody, can talk a junkie out of using. You can talk to ’em for years but sooner or later they’re gonna get a hold of something. Maybe it’s not dope. Maybe it’s booze, maybe it’s glue, maybe it’s gasoline. Maybe it’s a gunshot to the head. But something. Something to relieve the pressures of their everyday life, like having to tie their shoes.”

One of the many thoughts from Bob (Matt Dillon) in Gus Van Sant’s fascinating and completely credible look at the world of a junkie and his ‘family’. Dillon and film maker Van Sant have never been better.
