If We Were A Primitive Society, Movie

All Films Are Political, Whether They Mean To Be Or Not. Star Wars Is Political. As Soon As You Have Conflict, Which Is The Key To Most Films, You Have Politics. It's Just That Some Are More Artful With The Handling Of Politics Than Others.

People Aren't Interested In Paying $10 Or $12 To Go To The Movies And To Be Lectured To Politically. I'm Not Either. So I Don't Try To Make Those Kinds Of Films.

I'm Not A Very Good Predictor In Any Area Of Art, Particularly My Own. I Don't Know How To Evaluate That.

It's Always Interesting To Play People Different From Yourself, It Would Be Boring For Me To Play Myself.

I Love Having Made A Film And Watching It When It Affects Audiences In A Positive Way. It Was Always Fun For Me To Hide In The Back Of A Theater And Watch Tootsie With An Audience And Hear Them Laugh. And It's Gratifying 20 Years Later To Imagine That They Still Can Find It Amusing.
