My Name Is Joel Goodson. I Deal

I Love Adventure Movies, I Just Love Action Adventure Films. It's Pure Cinema And You Go In And You're Lost To It. To Me, It's That Challenge - I Want To Give An Audience That Ride, That Entertainment.

I Also Realise Power Is Fleeting, It Doesn't Last Forever In This Career, So I Want To Make The Most Of It. I Want To Make The Kinds Of Pictures That Interest Me, It's As Simple As That. I've Never Done Work For Money Ever. If Your Choices Are Based On Grosses And The Film Doesn't Do Well, What Does That Mean? It Leaves You With Nothing.

There Is No Such Thing As A Chemical Imbalance.

As A Kid, When I Got To The Edge Of A Cliff I Wanted To Jump Off. I Didn't Want To Kill Myself. I Wanted To Fly.

When I Was About 7 Years Old, I Had Been Labeled Dyslexic. I'd Try To Concentrate On What I Was Reading, Then I'd Get To The End Of The Page And Have Very Little Memory Of Anything I'd Read. I Would Go Blank, Feel Anxious, Nervous, Bored, Frustrated, Dumb. I Would Get Angry. My Legs Would Actually Hurt When I Was Studying. My Head Ached. All Through School And Well Into My Career, I Felt Like I Had A Secret. When I'd Go To A New School, I Wouldn't Want The Other Kids To Know About My Learning Disability, But Then I'd Be Sent Off To Remedial Reading.
