I just like the fact I can make a film which might give comfort to some people who think they are the only crazy person in the world and suddenly they see there are two crazy people in the world.

Literally overnight, I became an animator... and one that was well-known.

All films are learning processes. I am still trying to work out how you make a movie. I didn't study at film school or any of those things. I didn't bother with film theory.

I was born in 1940 in Minnesota and grew up in the country... dirt roads, swamps, lakes, woods.

Writers do the self-censoring before they even get to the studio executive, because they know the film will not run that gauntlet. They, because they want to get their films made, they censor it.

Once the voices are in your head, it's either make a movie or kill a lot of people.
