To me, the technique was almost irrelevant; it was what was coming across.

I wanted to learn how to paint rather than just doing black-and-white work

There is a whole generation of people who are going to see movies or watch TV who don't want to work.

I want to say 90% of stuff out there is just crap that got made. The main point is that it got produced.

So I look at a lot of stuff now that I did and some of it looks tame to me, but my interest in terms of what I want to say with it is a little different

But I'm aware of the fact that I'm working in a commercial venue where I'm producing something that I wouldn't normally be approaching the way I'm doing it

So much of Jaws was amazing because the mind filled in what was missing.
