So many directors are solely focused on their own success in Hollywood and multimillion dollar budgets and deals.

I took individual photographs of Annie Liebovitz, I kept taking her picture.

I did the occasional odd film, like Endless Love.

It's no accident that Tony Hopkins is a wonderful film actor.

My acting career helped pull me through the rough times.

I moved to LA and decided to do films and television, mainly because the theater in New York is totally dead.

They said this is Vanity Fair, and I said, Oh, I already take the magazine. They said Annie Leibovitz wants to take your picture and I thought, How nice!
