I Guess It's Ironic. I Just Did

I Loved The World Of Oz. I Guess As A Young Man, I Was Just Drawn To Fantasy Worlds. I Liked Being Transported To Alternative Realms Where A Lot Of My Early Imagination Was Sparked.

I Was Being Generous. Gia Coppola Wasn't Even A Filmmaker At That Time, But I Asked Her To Do It, Because I Believed In Her As An Artist. And Because I Wanted A Woman's Take On The Material. The Book Palo Alto Is Very Male-centric, But Gia Carved Out A Bunch Of The Female Characters, And Brought Them To The Fore In The Movie. And The Project Was Richer For It.

Teens Today Rule The World. The Whole Culture - Movies, Music - Is Pointed At Young People. They Have So 'much' Power.

Showing The Addiction And Unusual Sexual Practices Are Ways Of Just Outlining A Much Bigger Character Trait.

I Still Work Really Hard, But I Like To Think I'm A Little Smarter About At Least The Type Of Movie I'm Getting Into.
