I Don't Want To Be A Part

Film Buffs Who Don't Live In Hollywood Have A Fantasy About What It's Like To Be A Director. Movies And The People Who Make Movies Have Such Glamour Associated With Them. But The Truth Is, It's Not Like That. It's Very Different. It's Hard Work.

One Could Make Money And Get A Career Going With A Low-budget Horror Film About Killers Attacking On Holidays. It Is Always Flattering To Have Somebody Copy You.

I Made A Decision Back In 1978 That, In A Trade Off For Money When I Directed Halloween, I Would Have My Name Above The Title In Order To Basically Brand These Movies My Own.

I Just Aim For Basketball Season To Start. I Don't Really Care About Anything Else In Life.

I'm Pretty Happy With Who I Am. I Like Myself And What I'm Doing. I Don't Need To Be The World's Greatest Director Or The Most Famous -- Or The Richest. I Don't Need To Make A Whole Lot Of Great Films. I Can Do My Job And I Can Do It Pretty Well. This Is The Realization I've Come To, Later In Life. It's Called Growing Up.
