I remember, as I was hovering around 40, I thought each movie would be my last, really.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was 40 when I did my first movie.
I have done about 15 movies so far and am on my 5th season on That '70s Show.
You never know how things will last, if they will last, and how people will use them in the future. It was a fun movie for young people at the time in the 80s; but it struck a cord with people and it has lasted so I'm very proud of being a part of that.
I grew up in the '80s. I was a kid, but all my favorite movies came out of that period.
All of the movies that last, that you return to, the movies that struck you as a kid and continue to open up to you 10 years later and 10 years after that - those are the movies I want to make. Those things are eternal.
I think by around the time I was about 8 or 9, the idea of filmmaking probably took hold. I made little Super 8 extravaganzas when I was a kid, the first being my own version of 'Romeo and Juliet,' and where I played all the parts except for Juliet.
I can't remember what the last film I saw was, as I can't smoke or drink in cinemas.
I started late. I didn't make my first movie until I was 40.
I made about 56 movies, I think. Not that many.
What I felt at that time - we're talking about '61 - was that I couldn't remember seeing a film that reflected the age we were living in.
