There’s A Strange Quality In

With All The Hype That Computer Graphics Has Been Getting, Everybody Thinks There's Nothing Better Than Cgi, But I Do Get A Lot Of Fan Mail Saying They Prefer Our Films To Anything With Cgi In It. I'm Grateful For That, And We Made Them On Tight Budgets, So They Were Considered B-pictures Because Of That. And, Now Here We Are, And They've Outlasted Many So-called A-pictures.

You Could Believe That Sinbad Could Fight A Skeleton Because That's From A Period In The Past, A Magical Period. But If You Had James Bond Fighting A Skeleton, It'd Be Almost Comical.

Today, They Make Films Where You Have To Sit For An Hour And A Half And Watch Somebody In The Process Of Dying And, For Me, That's Rather Depressing. Films, In The Good Old Days Of The Golden Age Of Hollywood, Used To Want To Inspire People And Give Them Uplift. You're Paying Good Money To See A Film, And You Don't Want To Leave Depressed!

That's Why I Never Became A Director. I Never Had Patience With People.

The Whole Point Of Making A Film Is To Tell A Story.
