It's Always Fun To Talk About Jazz.

When I Used To Be A Contract Player In 1954 At Universal, I Wasn't Getting Good Roles. I Was Getting One-liners, And Then I'd Be Gone. But I'd Hang Around; I'd Watch Guys. And When I Had Days Off, Which Was Most Days, I'd Go Down And Watch Other Sets While They Were Shooting. Watch Joan Crawford Or Whomever. Just Watch How They Worked And How The Director Handled Them. I Didn't Know Anything About Making Movies, And There's A Lot To Learn.

I Had Always Planned When I Started Directing In 1970 That After A Few Years I'd Get Tired Of Looking At Myself On The Screen And Say: "hey, Let's Not Do That Any More." But Then Every Once In A While Something Pops Up. I'm Not Saying It Won't Happen Again But Probably The Odds Get Less As You Set Yourself For Roles That Fit Your Age Group.

Kids Piercing Themselves, Piercing Their Tongues, What Kind Of Masochism Is That? Is It To Show You Can Just Take It?

An Awful Lot Of Good Movies Have Gone Unrecognized, And An Awful Lot Of Bad Movies Have Had Tremendous Recognition. As Long As You Keep That In Mind, You Are Never Really Disappointed.

Let's Not Go And Ruin It By Thinking Too Much.
