A Book Suggests A Whole

I Love Comedies. I Take Comedy Very Seriously As A Form. It's A Serious Form, Involving A Certain Way Of Looking At Life, Specifically The Painful Aspects Of Life. I Get Asked, "how Can You Have Such Failures In Your Films?" Well, What Else Is Life About? There's Some Sense Of Constant Failure In Something. Humor Gives You A Distance From It.

I Like Action Films, Not Exclusively, But I Like Samurai Films. I Like Westerns. Not So Much War Pictures, But A Few. I Like Kinetic Cinema.

Joe E. Lewis Said, 'money Doesn't Buy Happiness But It Calms The Nerves.' And That Is How I Feel About A Film Being Well-received.

I Want All Of My Films To Belong To Me.

I Don't Want All Of American Cinema To Be Big Cartoons That Are Just Made To Be Digested By The Entire World.
