I've been in this business 31 years. I've never had a movie deal.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never got into this business thinking I'd be like a movie star.
I haven't sold to the movies. In other words, I haven't gotten any enormous checks yet.
I don't know what is in store for the movie business any better than anybody else does, but it does seem like my kind of movies are a little trickier than it used to be - or maybe a lot trickier.
I'm in Hollywood - I have no business not being in the movie industry.
I never did films for the money or because I needed to buy a house or car. I do it because I love my job.
I lost a year or two in there, trying to get films financed that I didn't know would never get financing.
At this point, I don't get hired a lot because people don't think I could finance a movie.
I don't really know anything about the movie business, even though I've lived in Los Angeles my whole life - somehow I've never bumped into it.
See, I'm fortunate that I get around a lot because of my movie business.
I've been in the bargain basement of the movie business.
