My Career Seems To Be A Career

I'm Just Trying To Think What Other Sequels There Were. There Was The James Bond Movies And Not Many. I Think Sequels Have Become A Recent Idea Of Franchising.

I Want To Make Films About The Human Condition, What We're Doing To The World Or Ourselves.

I Spend A Lot Of My Time Just Developing Material; Or The Company Does. That Material Can Come From A Book, Can Come From A Newspaper, Can Come From A Discussion And Sometimes It Can Come From A Script That Got Passed Over And Is Floating Around.

You've Got To Be Able To Know Someone Really Well To Be Able To Have A Row And Then Also Walk Away From It And Not Have It Matter, Especially In This Business. That Doesn't Mean To Say We Have Many Rows But I Think The Nearest Thing To A Row Would Be Just Flatly Disagreeing With Something .

I'm Not Criticizing Hollywood Because I Work There, I Partly Live There. But I'm Saying This Is The Way It Is, Commerce Is Taking Over Art. Commerce Has Become The Most Important Thing In The Film Industry. Hollywood Is An Industry, It's Not An Art Form, Therefore They Have To Address The Bottom Line. But In A Way It's Sad When You Get A Remake, Isn't It?
