I Didn't Grow Up Thinking Of Movies

I Have One Life. I Am A Certain Age. I'm Married To One Person. I Have A Certain Number Of Children. I Won't Have Another Life Other Than That, But I Do Have Many Lives Through The Films.

Well, The Wonderful Thing About Making Movies, Oddly Enough, Is That They're Sort Of Highly Motivated Graduate Studies In One Or Another Field.

For Example, A Man Who Might Not Have Enormous Charisma, Who Could Be President 40 Years Ago, And Who Was A Deserving President, I Don't Know That George Washington Would Be A President Today, I Don't Know That Abe Lincoln Would, I Don't Know That Roosevelt Would.

When You Spend Your Life Acting And Being Other People, As Opposed To Being The One Person That You Are, You Learn That Life Is Gray Sometimes, Not Black And White. That What You Thought Was True Isn't Necessarily True If You Switch Sides.

Every Single Art Form Is Involved In Film, In A Way.
