"I guess I never had a better experience than working on The Long Riders, and at the same time, I never had a harder time than what I did making Southern Comfort"

Walter Hill's quote reflects the difficulty and reward of his experience making the movie The Long Riders and Southern Comfort. He acknowledges that The Long Riders was a fantastic experience, but that Southern Comfort was a much more difficult one. This suggests that The Long Riders was a relatively smooth production, while Southern Comfort was more challenging. Hill's quote likewise indicates that the problem of making Southern Comfort deserved it, as it was a satisfying experience. This might mean that the movie succeeded, or that Hill found out something valuable from the experience. Eventually, Hill's quote reflects the low and high of the filmmaking process, and the complete satisfaction that comes from getting rid of the obstacles.
