My Film Is Not A Movie; It's

I Have Always Credited The Writer Of The Original Material Above The Title: Mario Puzo's The Godfather, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Or John Grisham's The Rainmaker. I Felt That I Didn't Have The Right To Francis Coppola's Anything Unless I Had Written The Story And The Screenplay.

I Had Been A Kid That Moved So Much, I Didn’t Have A Lot Of Friends. Theater Really Represented That Kind Of Camaraderie.

I Thought I Wanted To Be A Playwright Because I Was Interested In Stories And Telling Stories.

I've Been Offered Lots Of Movies. There's Always Some Actor Who's Doing A Project And Would Like To Have Me Do It.

The Whole Reason One Wants To Do Lower Budget Films Is Because The Lower The Budget, The Bigger The Ideas, The Bigger The Themes, The More Interesting The Art.
