Stay Innocent. I'm 69 Years Old, And

I Think A Sequel Is A Waste Of Money And Time. I Think Movies Should Illuminate New Stories.

I Wanted To Be A Film Student Again, As A Man In My 60s. To Go Someplace Alone And See What You Can Cook Up, With Non-existent Budgets. I Didn't Want To Be Surrounded By Comforts And Colleagues, Which You Have When When You're A Big Time Director. I Wanted To Write Personal Works.

You're In A Profession In Which Absolutely Everybody Is Telling You Their Opinion, Which Is Different. That's One Of The Reasons George Lucas Never Directed Again.

I'm No Longer Dependent On The Movie Business To Make A Living. So If I Want To Make Movies As Other Old Guys Would Play Golf, I Can.

Everyone Knows The Phenomenon Of Trying To Hold Your Breath Underwater - How At First It's Alright And You Can Handle It, And Then As It Gets Closer And Closer To The Time When You Must Breathe, How Urgent The Need Becomes, The Lust And The Hunger To Breathe. And Then The Panic Sets In When You Begin To Think That You Won't Be Able To Breathe - And Finally, When You Take In Air And The Anxiety Subsides...that's What It's Like To Be A Vampire And Need Blood.
