Look, I Had A Passion

I Feel Funny About Owning Art. I Don't Really Want To Say: "wow, Come And See My Monet - It's In A Dark Room At The Bottom Of My Cellar."

I Mean The Future Has Become Old Fashioned.

In 1977, Hip-hop Literally Wasn't Outside The Boroughs. But I Was Profoundly Aware Of The City Through Films Like Saturday Night Fever, The French Connection, And Network. I Had A Friend Who Visited New York, And I Asked Him What It Was Like. He Said, "oh, It's Great. Just Wear A Coat And Don't Look Anyone In The Eye."

Western Films Don't Do Very Well In India.

I Mean, '8 ½' To Me Is Such A Great Dissertation On The Whole, You Know, Act Of Filmmaking And Creativity.
