Curiously, Directing My Own Films Have Made

Hollywood Was Not A Place I Dreamed Of Getting To. I Never Could Take Seriously The Obsession People Have About Being A Celebrity Or Getting To Hollywood - I Was Born Next Door.

Storytelling Was A Way To See The World Bigger Than The One You Were Looking At, And That Had Great Appeal For Me. I Think Since That Was Part Of My Upbringing, It Became Part Of Me, And I Wanted To Pass It Along To My Kids And My Grandkids.

When I Was About Fifteen, I Went To Work At Yosemite National Park. It Changed Me Forever. Nature Had Carved Its Own Sculpture, And I Was Part Of It, Not The Other Way Around.
