“I met with Ang Lee on that movie, I read 15 pages of the script and got a little creeped out. It was very graphic, descriptive – the spitting on the hand, getting ready to do the thing. I told Ang Lee, ‘I like you, you’re a talented guy, if you want to talk about it more….’ Thankfully, he didn’t. …I didn’t rush to see Brokeback, it’s just not my deal… Obviously, it was done in taste – look how it was received.” – Mark Wahlberg explaining why he’s not sorry he and Joaquin Phoenix were passed over for the leads in Brokeback Mountain.
