Problems Can Become Opportunities When The Right

Politics Right Now Is In A Very Dark Place, And I Think The Only Place For Me Is To Do What I Do - Make Films, Create Art, Watch It As It Evolves. Right Now It's Like Humpty Dumpty Sitting On A Wall, And A Great Fall Is Happening. The Behavior Seems To Be Really Dumb.

The Way You Really Find Out About The Performer's Seriousness About The Cause Is How Long They Stay With It When The Spotlight Gets Turned Off. You See A Lot Of Celebrities Switch Gears. They Go From The Environment To Animal Rights To Obesity Or Whatever. That I Don't Have A Lot Of Respect For.

Any Time I Saw People Treated Unfairly Because Of Race, Creed, Whatever - It Struck A Nerve.

I'd Been Influenced By Reading Books On Art And Colonies That Existed In Paris And Places Like That And So When I Came To Europe I Came To France And I Had Very Little Money, And I Had To Live Low And Stayed In A Bohemian Section Of Paris With A Lot Of Other Students, Who Were From Medical School, Science School And Art School. We All Lived In A Kind Of Communal Way And I Was Challenged Politically, Because I Didn't Have A Clue And They Would Ask Me Questions About The Algerian War, Which Was Very Big In France In The Late '50s.

I've Been Very Fortunate In That I've Had Wonderful Relationships With People I've Worked With.
