George Lucas Doesn't Have The Most Physical

My Film Isn't About Vietnam. It Is Vietnam. It's What It Was Really Like. It Was Crazy. And The Way We Made It Was Very Much Like The Way The Americans Were In Vietnam. We Were In The Jungle, There Were Too Many Of Us, We Had Access To Too Much Money, Too Much Equipment And Little By Little We Went Insane.

My Family Were Symphonic Musicians And In The Opera. Also, It Was My Era, The Love Of Radio. We Used To Listen To The Radio At Night, Close Our Eyes And See Movies Far More Beautiful Than You Can Photograph.

We Were Raised In An Italian-american Household, Although We Didn't Speak Italian In The House. We Were Very Proud Of Being Italian, And Had Italian Music, Ate Italian Food.

I Think Cinema, Movies, And Magic Have Always Been Closely Associated. The Very Earliest People Who Made Film Were Magicians.

Frank Capra Was A Prop Man, I Think. John Ford Was A Prop Man. It Was A Little Bit Of A Father And Son Thing, And You Kind Of Worked Your Way Up.
