The Very Earliest People Who Made Film

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. But You Look At The Project And Think, 'gee, There Are A Lot Of Good Directors Who Could Do That.' I'd Like To Do Something Only I Can Do.

The Great Hope Is That People Who Wouldn't Normally Make Films Will Be Making Them. Suddenly, One Day Some Little Fat Girl In Ohio Is Going To Be The New Mozart And Make A Beautiful Film With Her Father's Camera And For Once The So Called Professionalism About Movies Will Be Destroyed Forever - And It Will Really Become An Art Form.

My Film Is Not A Movie; It's Not About Vietnam. It Is Vietnam.

When Newspapers Started To Publish The Box Office Scores Of Movies, I Was Horrified. Those Results Are Totally Fake Because They Never Include The Promotion Budget.

I Gladly, I Voluntarily Gave Up The Kind Of Commercial Film Career I Had Going As Soon As I Had Enough Money To Finance My Own Films. I Didn't Make That Money Necessarily From The Film Business, But I Eventually Made A Lot Of Money And That's What I Do. Of Course, I Consider Myself Unbelievably Fortunate, And I'm Pretty Content With My Life.
