I Think It's A Terrible Shame That

With A Movie You're Creating From The Beginning This Particular Work, Let's Not Call It Work Of Art, Because Very Few Movies Are Works Of Art, Let's Just Call Them Bits Of Popular Culture, Whatever They Are, Sometimes Very Rarely By Accident A Movie Becomes A Work Of Art.

Three Days Of The Condor Is Still An Interesting Film To Watch Not Because It's Political. It Happens To Be Political. But That's Not Why The Sales Of The Dvds Are As High As They Are. It's Because It's An Entertaining Thriller. In My Opinion, Tootsie Is A Very Political Movie But Truck Drivers Can Go And Laugh At It.

And I Taught Acting For Years, And Without Knowing It That Was The Real Thing That Started Bending Me Toward Directing.

You Can Be Moderate In A Way And Still Intense In Your Views. It's The Extremism That Gets Frightening; Religious Fundamentalism And Wacko-left Liberalism Is Crazy.

But, I've Made Films In Japan, In Yugoslavia, All Over Europe, All Over The United States, Mexico, But Not Hollywood.
