What I Really Want To

We Talked About Tootsie, The Idea In Tootsie Is That A Man Becomes A Better Man For Having Been A Woman.

And I Taught Acting For Years, And Without Knowing It That Was The Real Thing That Started Bending Me Toward Directing.

All Films Are Political, Whether They Mean To Be Or Not. Star Wars Is Political. As Soon As You Have Conflict, Which Is The Key To Most Films, You Have Politics. It's Just That Some Are More Artful With The Handling Of Politics Than Others.

For Example, A Man Who Might Not Have Enormous Charisma, Who Could Be President 40 Years Ago, And Who Was A Deserving President, I Don't Know That George Washington Would Be A President Today, I Don't Know That Abe Lincoln Would, I Don't Know That Roosevelt Would.

What I Really Want To Do Is Produce. There Isn’t Much Patience With A Slow Developing Story Line Anymore.
