During a 1997 interview held in [[Melbourne]], Fonda commented on the character he portrayed:
{{blockquote|Ulee is the best character I've ever read. It's the kind of role you pay money to do &mdash; a complex character full of possibilities and the script was full of moments that were very deep, very pure and very simple. I also found a lot of Ulee in [[Henry Fonda|my father]]. He kept a couple of hives and I can see him hop-footing it across the lawn, thinking he had a bee up his pant leg. As I began to develop Ulee, I used a lot of the way my father was to us as kids, the way he was to us as a family and the way he was to himself.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thei.aust.com/film97/cellinfonda.html |title=From Easy Rider to Ulee's Gold with Peter Fonda |access-date=2006-04-01 |website=Celluloid Interview |first=Jayne |last=Margetts |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060321163657/http://www.thei.aust.com/film97/cellinfonda.html |archive-date=2006-03-21 }}</ref>}}
