If You Think It, The Camera Will

Last House Offended A Lot Of People. The Results In The Theaters, Even In Boston, Reminded Me A Bit Of Things From When I Was Studying Theater Of The Absurd, And The Rise And The Appearance Of Ionesco Plays, And Things Like That. Thinking, "my God, People Actually Are Getting Into Fistfights. People Are Having Heart Attacks. People Are Actually Trying To Get Into The Projection Booth To Destroy The Print."

I Learned To Take The First Job That You Have In The Business That You Want To Get Into. It Doesn't Matter What That Job Is, You Get Your Foot In The Door.

I Make Something I Can Look At And Say, "that's A Good Piece Of Work, And There's Some Terrific Directing And Acting In It, And You Should Be Proud Of It."

I Did Have The Resource Of Having Taught Greek Mythology And The History Of Western Civilization, And You Can Go Back Into The Plays Of Aeschylus And Follow What Happens When People Seek Revenge, And There Are People Plucking Their Eyes Out. And Greek Mythology Is Filled With All Kinds Of Monsters And Whatnot.

It's Quite Rare That You Make Something And Think That You Did Something That No-one Else Had Done.
