Several Times We Were Stranded In Strange

I Was Making Films When I Was About 12 Years Old - Super-8 Films.

Sometimes You Get Involved In A Film Because You Just Love Making Movies And You Want To Keep Working. Sometimes You're Lucky Enough To Find Something That You Really Care About. Therefore, Now I'm Emphasizing Developing My Own Projects And Writing My Own Screenplays, So That I Can Do Exactly What I Like To Do.

I Believe The Important Part Of Directing Really Is Finding The Right People For The Right Roles. Sometimes You Go For What's Expected, And Sometimes You Go Against Type Because You Think That'll Really Bring Something Different To The Movie.

This Was In '79. I Got Pretty Restless There, Sitting Around With A Lot Of People Sitting Around Smoking Cigarettes And Talking About Films, But Nobody Really Doing Anything.

There Were A Lot Of People Dreaming About Making Films, And They Would Finance Maybe 6 Films A Year. Because They Were Funded By The Government, The Films Sort-of Had To Deal With Serious Social Issues - And, As A Result, Nobody Went To See Those Films.
