I Feel Like I Learned Very Early

It Proved To Be Pretty Impossible To Get Funds For A Feature Film In Finland. It's Still Small, But The Film Industry Was Miniscule At That Point In The Early '80s.

I Went Out To Some Advertising Agencies And Asked If I Could Do Anything.

Ford Fairlane Was One Of Those Movies That Was So Much Fun To Make That It Was Bound Not To Be A Big Hit.

In Hollywood, You Tend To Get Pigeonholed To Certain Genres, And Then When You Try To Do Something Different, It's Not Always So Easy. Obviously, You Don't Want To Keep Repeating Yourself, All The Time. So, It's A Constant Struggle For Every Filmmaker And Actor To Find Something That You Can Really Feel Passionate About. It's A Profession Like Anything Else.

I Feel Like I Learned Very Early On That Your Heroes Are Only As Powerful As Your Villains. And I'm Attracted To Intelligent Villains.
