I pulled out of making movies in about '96 or '97.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I've made some pretty decent films in the '80s and '90s.
I wish I was making movies back in the days when John Ford made movies and you were a director under contract to a studio. John Ford had years when he made three movies in a year.
1977 is the year I made my first movie. Shortly after, I was offered quite nice roles in television. The general consensus among everyone was that I'd be out of my mind to do that.
I turned down the opportunity to be in some films that went on to be blockbusters.
I always wanted to make movies.
I was making films when I was about 12 years old - Super-8 films.
I grew up in the '80s. I was a kid, but all my favorite movies came out of that period.
I still remember 1997 when I made the movie 'Storm Riders;' that moment, a lot of American producers want to hire me to make movies in the States.
And I discovered after a couple years that I really didn't miss making movies.
I did nothing but theater until, I guess, '99. I was all the way through college the first time that I had stepped in front of a camera. And it's weird; it's definitely a transition.
