I was an actor... or, at least, I was trying to be an actor.

I realized what you could do in motion pictures by surrounding yourself with geniuses.

People say, You paid your dues, but I never paid any dues. It's always been a great trip.

I'm open to comments. I'm open to objective points of view, because I've been very narrow and very subjective.

It was just the thrill of a lifetime. Brando and Hackman were two of my heroes.

It was 1978 when Superman came out, and I kept thinking, Why don't they do something about it? They've done all these crappy attempts at comic book film adaptations. What can we do different? Why don't we just re-release this thing?

If you had the opportunity and some talent, there was no way you couldn't progress, because it was an open market. There was the advertising world, and there was the documentary world.
