No, I Never Went To College. Always

People Aren't Interested In Paying $10 Or $12 To Go To The Movies And To Be Lectured To Politically. I'm Not Either. So I Don't Try To Make Those Kinds Of Films.

Most Human Beings Who Are Accustomed To Attempting To See The World From Various Points Of View Tend To Be More Liberal Than Conservative. I Have One Life. I Am A Certain Age. I'm Married To One Person. I Have A Certain Number Of Children. I Won't Have Another Life Other Than That, But I Do Have Many Lives Through The Films. It's A Way For Me To Understand What It's Like To Be A Murderer, To Confess, To Be A Beaten Wife, To Be A Minority, To Be A Victor, To Get The Girl, To Lose The Girl. I Can Do All Of That Through The Practice Of An Art Form.

All Films Are Political, Whether They Mean To Be Or Not. Star Wars Is Political. As Soon As You Have Conflict, Which Is The Key To Most Films, You Have Politics. It's Just That Some Are More Artful With The Handling Of Politics Than Others.

I'm Not Trying To Push My Political Agenda On Anybody. I'll Do That Like Any Other Citizen By Giving Money To A Party Or Candidate I Believe In. I Don't Mind Going Out And Endorsing Somebody I Believe In. But When We're Talking About My Films, I Don't Think My Politics Should Have Anything To Do With It.
