#Quote
1Good work - by definition - is almost impossible to spot on its own.
2I think tastes change as you mature. A picture I made twenty years ago would be different than a picture I'd make now.
3What I liked most about my dad's era (Charlton Heston) was the club atmosphere in Hollywood during that time. Dialogue in the filmmaking process back then sounded like this: "I'll produce this picture, you direct it, then I'll direct the next one and you produce..." I was fortunate to have caught a glimpse of that old business.
4I think the 1970s and part of the '80s was a story driven time for filmmaking. Now it seems we've all went back 60 years in how we make pictures. Studio film of the 40s and 50s had this spectacle quality; thousands of extras in the background, huge choreographed dance numbers, memorable stunts and the audience would see this and go "wow"! ...These last 10 years of special effects movies feels like it's repeating that, maybe next we'll get the story driven era, again.
