I Was Scared That No One Would Hire Me. At That Time, There Was Still A Stigma Attached To It. A Big Stigma. Actually, I Think I Was Healthier After The Operation Than Some People Who Have Bypass Surgery Because I Was Completely Cured. But When You Mentioned "heart Transplant," You Got A Very Negative Reaction. It Triggered People's Imaginations, And Not In A Good Way.

I Was A Heavy Drinker, But The Alcohol Affected My Heart Rather Than My Liver. So I Stopped. I Smoke Grass Now. I Say That To Everybody, Because Marijuana Should Be Legalized. It's Ridiculous That It Isn't. If At The End Of The Day I Feel Like Smoking A Joint I Do It. It Changes The Perception Of What I've Been Through All Day.

People Have Asked Me Throughout The Years Which Directors Have Influenced Me. I Don't Know Their Names, Because I Was Mostly Influenced When I'd See A Film And Think, "man, I Want To Be Sure To Never Do Anything Like That." So I Never Learned Their Names. It Wasn't A Matter Of Copying Or Emulating Somebody I Admired. It Was Getting Rid Of A Lot Of Stuff.
