When I was a kid, I remember the first Batman, the first Superman comic books when they came out, thinking how great that was and wouldn't it be great to see a movie like that. They did some cheap serials, but they're not the same as today. But I think younger audiences would like to see a real hero also.

Nowadays, politically, everybody is promising everything. That's the only way you can get elected.

My mother knew how to read music and everything. But I just kinda learned off of records. And so, I was listening to records and I'd play 'em over and over.

You see, in this world, there's two kinds of people, my friend - those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.

I just don't want to copy the current trends or do movies for teenagers. I want people to get more out of movies.

Everybody wants to make something they think is a surefire winner, though nobody knows what a surefire winner is, in my opinion.

I'm just a kid. I've got a lot of stuff to do yet.
