And I Taught Acting For

Making Films Is Much More Difficult Than People Imagine, And So The Experience Of Actually Directing Them Is Not One I've Ever Relished.

I Love Having Made A Film And Watching It When It Affects Audiences In A Positive Way. It Was Always Fun For Me To Hide In The Back Of A Theater And Watch Tootsie With An Audience And Hear Them Laugh. And It's Gratifying 20 Years Later To Imagine That They Still Can Find It Amusing.

I Have To Have A Working Knowledge Of Light, And Optics, Film Emulsions And Their Properties, And Lenses, Otherwise I Can't Create The Shoots That Are The Vocabulary Of The Films. But It Is Not Necessary For Me To Be A Cameraman, I Can Hire A Cameraman.

I Tend To Be What I Would Call More Progressive Than Conservative, But I Think Either Extreme Is Excessive.

Three Days Of The Condor Is Still An Interesting Film To Watch Not Because It's Political. It Happens To Be Political. But That's Not Why The Sales Of The Dvds Are As High As They Are. It's Because It's An Entertaining Thriller. In My Opinion, Tootsie Is A Very Political Movie But Truck Drivers Can Go And Laugh At It.
