Drinking Wine Is Just A Part Of

I Wanted To Be A Film Student Again, As A Man In My 60s. To Go Someplace Alone And See What You Can Cook Up, With Non-existent Budgets. I Didn't Want To Be Surrounded By Comforts And Colleagues, Which You Have When When You're A Big Time Director. I Wanted To Write Personal Works.

When Newspapers Started To Publish The Box Office Scores Of Movies, I Was Horrified. Those Results Are Totally Fake Because They Never Include The Promotion Budget.

I Realized I Probably Wouldn't Make Another Film That Cuts Through Commercial And Creative Things Like 'godfather' Or 'apocalypse.'

My Film Is Not A Movie; It's Not About Vietnam. It Is Vietnam.

It Takes No Imagination To Live Within Your Means.
