Peter fonda

I knew Henry Fonda was my father, but I didn't know who I was. They all thought of me as Henry Fonda's son. Unfortunately for them, they never got to know me.

If I have enough ego to say I'm a writer, a director, a producer, and an actor, I should have the energy and the knowledge to write a scene for this great actor named Henry Fonda and direct him in it...

My abilities grow with each job, whether it's writing or directing. When I stop learing, I'll stop working.

You don't become the character.

I wasn't really aware that my father was working for quite a while. I thought it was my mother who had all the money!

I don't trust anybody who didn't inhale.

I've always internalized things.

I want to be on set and die hearing those words: Where's Peter?

I always seemed to disappoint them. They expected me to be different than Henry or exactly like Henry. I was neither.

I was famous from birth.
