My Argument Has Always Been That This

Michael Moore, Whether You Like Him Or Hate Him, Has Done Something Very Important.

If You Write A Movie For Roger Corman, It's Going To Get Made. You Saw It Almost The Next Day.

I Never Thought About Being A Writer As I Grew Up. A Writer Wasn't Something I Wanted To Be. An Outfielder Was Something To Be. Most Of What I Know About Style I Learned From Roberto Clemente.

For Me The Writing, When I'm Going To Direct It Myself, Is Really Just The First Draft, And I Don't Change It Very Much; I Only Change It On Average About Two Lines Per Movie.

Basically, If You Could Get A Good Trailer Out Of The Script, Roger Had No Objection To You Making A Really Good Movie. He Liked It If You Did. He Liked The More Cleverness And Ingenuity You Could Bring To It. He Just Wasn't Going To Give You Any More Money.
