The formatting and copy on this interview is atrocious but I love how quickly and vehemently he refutes the idea that he is making films about Boys & their Big Shiny Toys. Drama and romance, baby!!! Presumably this was before David Milch decided he wanted to kill Michael Mann with a baseball bat.

Deadwood premiered on HBO on 21 March 2004.

Created, produced, and mainly written by David Milch, the series lasted for 3 seasons before being cancelled (and then revived in a 2019 movie).

The series was nominated for 28 Emmy Awards (with Milch receiving 2), and receiving 8, including Walter Hill for direction in season 1. The series received the Peabody Award for Excellence for season 1.

The Writers Guild of America ranked the show #32 on its list of all-time best-written series.

"We're gonna kill the kid." What an awesome Deadwood story.

"To waste time regretting or feeling betrayed as if there were some contract with the audience that was defaulted on, was to deprive oneself, as a member of the audience and a participant in the making, of the pleasure of what did exist. To attach bitterness to the encounter with what does exist is a failure of energy and truth. There was a lot of life there. At the end of it, to spend time regretting what might have been would be actually to distort what has been."

In essence, Life’s Work is a prayer — like all art is, particularly Milch’s. “Every day, before I write, I pray, and I ask to be willing, and then I see what happens. “I offer myself to Thee to build with me and do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will.” (This is a practice I have started to borrow from Milch — although for him it’s an AA method, whereas I have the curse of alcohol intolerance which prevents me from downing whiskey over a typewriter.) Writing starts with an act of contrition — with utter humility. Art comes from forgiveness.
