Quote by Gus Van Sant

Death Valley is really wide-open - it's bigger than Rhode Island - and it's less a part of California than an ungoverned territory, so there's lots of weird cops-and-robbers stuff going on.

Death Valley is really wide-open - it's bigger than Rhode Is

Summary

This quote highlights the unique characteristics of Death Valley, emphasizing its vastness and size, which exceeds that of the state of Rhode Island. It also implies that Death Valley has a distinct identity separate from California, almost resembling an unregulated territory. The mention of "weird cops-and-robbers stuff" suggests that unusual and perhaps unconventional activities take place in this desert region, adding an air of mystery and lawlessness to its reputation.
