“I had nothing to do with this movie,” he said. “When I think about this movie,it was all love. Love from Sam Elliott,Lady Gaga, [and] Warner Bros.”

“I had friends concerned for my well-being who did not want me to make this movie,” he added. “This recognition gives me the courage to disregard fear and pursue — with love.”
