    I love that movie. I’ve been saying the following for years:

    Wyatt: You ever want to be somebody else?
    Stranger: I'd like to try Porky Pig.
    Wyatt: I never wanted to be anybody else.

    He’s saying that he’s totally cool with who he is...happy with himself and never wanted to be anyone else. I think that’s deep.
