Movies Are Art And The Spirit Of

My Roommate At Yale University Introduced Me To The Auteur Theory Of Filmmaking. I Soon Became A Big Fan Of The Works Of John Ford, Kenji Mizoguchi, Ernst Lubitsch, And Stan Brakhage. I Then Decided To Make My Own Films!

Luckily, I've Never Been Offered A Directing Job That Was Lucrative. I've Never Heard, "here's $800,000 To Remake Sisters."

If Someone Offered Me A Hundred Million Dollars To Make A Movie? I Would First Remind Him That There Are 850 Million People In The World Who Don't Have Enough To Eat.

I'm From The '60s, But No One Has Ever Accused Me Of Being A Hippie. I Never Had Much Interest In The Woodstock Crowd, Which Partied To Change The World, While Real People Were Starving To Death In Africa.

Being A Gay Married Man, I Love Broadway Musicals.
