Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.
In addition to celebrating great blues music, we always wanted to make sure that proceeds from this endeavor flowed back to the musicians and to efforts to keep this wonderful music alive.
I'd not like to deal with the man directly, ... I'd like to create the story, to find the story, first of all, and then play it out the way I think it's right.
Basically, you make another movie, and another, and hopefully you feel good about every picture you make. And you say, 'My name is on that. I did that. It's OK.' But don't get me wrong, I still get excited by it all. That, I hope, will never disappear.
I have a desire to tell stories. And I'm never quite satisfied.
I don't like being in houses alone.
