You know, I never expected to enter the movie business.

I did movie star impressions as a kid in high school. Somehow they just got out of hand.

The American marketplace is one conditioned by commercial movies, and the American moviegoer is in the greatest part a commercial moviegoer. They don’t have much patience for high end.
