death
If you want a studio to back you, you want to be doing something that's been done to death!
When I watch a movie, I don't want to see the extra bits.
If you look at the types of directors out there, I'm not as weird as most of them.
women
I have always enjoyed the company of women.
success
I'm what is known as a 40-year overnight success.
filmmaking pain people work
I think people think filmmaking is fun, but I've never thought that. For me it's always been a lot of work and pain and stress.
time
By the time I was a young man, I was pretty independent.
I am more connected to the world of the imagination, but you don't have to have polio to do that.
Particularly with middle-class people, self-absorption is a struggle.
