One of the jobs of art is to inspire discussion, and Brokeback Mountain certainly has done that. It's like a window and a mirror. You're looking through a window at lives you may or may not have experienced. But it's a mirror in the sense we've all felt lonely; we're all, at one time or another, looking for and hoping for love. -Diana Ossana

Not win awards, win people. Win audiences. I'm honestly not surprised people like it, but I'm rather startled by the widespread, rapid word-of-mouth. We both believed it would be a film that would eventually find its way.

We wanted to move people emotionally, not intellectually. There's no message in the film except that life is hard, and that's universal. You cannot get away from the fact that it's two men, but we've all been in love; we've all felt these things. Life is hard, whether you find love or not.

It simply tells a story about two rather unremarkable men and their tragedy. It doesn't wave a banner of triumph over any lifestyle. It is a story about life. A realistic story, and a very sad story.

He said it was a masterpiece. That's the only time in the 20 years that I've known him that he's agreed with me on the first time.
