I Hardly Said A Word To My

Everybody's A Filmmaker Today.

There Is A Certain Kind Of Respect For Authenticity Today That There Wasn't Back In The Days When They Did 'cleopatra,' Where Everything Looked Like A Giant Motel. People Want To Have It Be Authentic In The Look, And Authentic In The Way People Behave.

Also, They Don't Understand - Writing Is Language. The Use Of Language. The Language To Create Image, The Language To Create Drama. It Requires A Skill Of Learning How To Use Language.

I Suppose When I Started Out I Would Have Liked To Have Been The Darling Of Critics Or Something, But Everybody Wants To Be Loved And Admired.

Films Are Always Pretentious. There's Nothing More Pretentious Than A Filmmaker.
