My Father Was An Exceptionally Strong Influence

I've Always Been An Avid Reader. Everyone In My Family Read A Lot. Considering We Were From A Little Town, We Were Pretty Literate.

I Don't Like Things Too Overstated In The Cut Or Too Perfect.

You Can't Take A Play Someone Has Directed And Do Whatever You Want With It.

I Don't Lose My Temper Very Often Now, And If I Do, It's Well Deserved.

Films Take Too Long. There's Too Much Bs, Too Much Nonsense. If I Want To Do A Play, I Just Call The Theater, Whether It's Here, Or In Paris Or Mexico Or Spain Or London Or Whatever, And Say, "i Want To Do This, Are You Interested?" They'll Answer The Next Day. With A Movie, It's All, "oh, I See This Film As Blah Blah Blah." They Don't Know What You're Talking About, They Don't Care.
