I Was The Enemy Of The Major Studio. I Believed In One Man - One Film. I Believed One Man Should Make The Film. And I Believed The Director Should Be That One Man.

Everybody Who Works Under Any System Feels Confined. It Is A Natural Reaction. You Are Confined To A Certain Extent. You Are Confined If You Work In A Bank, If You Paint. You Are Confined, In A Sense, To Your Art - The Enclosure Of Your Mind. Everybody Should Break Out.
