I Was A Pretty Shy, Lonely Kid.

I Used To Love Going Into Local Hardware Stores, To Look At Little Things They Made Locally. Nowadays It's Harder, Though You Can Still Do It In Vietnam.

I Realized I Probably Wouldn't Make Another Film That Cuts Through Commercial And Creative Things Like 'godfather' Or 'apocalypse.'

The Professional World Was Much More Unpleasant Than I Thought. I Was Always Wishing I Could Get Back That Enthusiasm I Had When I Was Doing Shows At College.

Movies Are The Art Form Most Like Man's Imagination.

I've Been Offered Lots Of Movies. There's Always Some Actor Who's Doing A Project And Would Like To Have Me Do It. But You Look At The Project And Think, 'gee, There Are A Lot Of Good Directors Who Could Do That.' I'd Like To Do Something Only I Can Do.
