I’m always happy when I hear about people selling records or selling books or selling movies. It makes me proud of them.
I would love to do more movies, but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.
Television is where the best work for women is right now. I would love to do more movies, but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.
But when you’re writing a script – for me anyway – you have to sort of create an enforced innocence. You have to divest yourself of worrying about a lot of stuff like what movies are hot, what movies are not hot, what the budget of this movie might be.
You just never know when movies are going to take off or not. The lucky thing about this was that it didn’t cost a lot of money, and therefore there wasn’t loads of pressure on me.
Movies are about escape.
I’ve made movies that cost less than one car chase.
Ever since ‘Lassie’ and ‘Old Yeller’, I won’t watch animal movies. Animals in movies always die.
And anyway, it’s only movies. to stop me I think they’ll ahve to shoot me in the head.
But I don’t think there has ever been anything written on the nature of violent man as deep and as thorough as Shakespeare’s Titus. I think it puts all modern movies and modern exploitations of violence to shame.
