I Guess Some Mistakes You Never Stop

In 1973, I Was Shown A Graphic Of How Dependent The United States Was On Nonrenewable Resources Like Oil And Coal And That Little Was Being Done To Change That. It Seemed Irrefutable That We Needed A Change In Direction Or We'd Be Paying A Huge Price Down The Road. That's When I Made A Commitment To Become A Political Activist.

I Have A Very Low Regard For Cynics. I Think It's The Beginning Of Dying.

That's Another Thing That's Depressing: Certain Attitudes In Congress. They Assume That You're Dumb; They Can Take Advantage Of You Being Dumb. I Find That Offensive. It Insults Our Intelligence. They're Playing Us For Dumb And They're Being Dumb In Doing It. But I Believe That's Gonna Change. I Think Those People, The Mcconnells, Are Not Helping Us At All. They're Taking Us Backward In Time.

I Can't Watch Completed Films - My Wife Makes Fun Of Me.

Curiously, Directing My Own Films Have Made Me More Tolerant And Patient. I've Always Been An Extremely Impatient Actor. Waiting Around Drove Me Nuts. But Now I'm Much More Sympathetic To A Director's Struggle.
