I think that if I had grown up and had been in show business and the movies twenty five, thirty years earlier, I think I would have made a lot more musical movies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I were to do a musical, I think I would rather make a film musical.
Even if I'd had a really happy relationship with my father and there was no emotional hiatus for a decade and a half, I probably would still have made some of the same choices for movies that I've made.
I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
I've made three musical movies which is pretty good considering that not many are made but I was lucky in other ways. I came along when independent movies were starting to boom.
I would like to have directed Hollywood musicals in the '40s and '50s.
I have to go back to my younger days, when I just adored Hollywood musicals.
It would have been more obvious to go into film, based on the generation before me, but the generation before them were all composers or classical musicians.
I think I definitely would have ended up in some kind of show business. I was very interested in music when I was younger. This was back when Crosby, Stills and Nash were around.
Maybe I've got to admit that what I did here was enough. I can make some more films. Maybe I'll direct a film. Maybe I'll have my musical put on stage. But nothing, really, to be absolutely honest, competes with making a very successful pop band for 10 years of my life.
I was never that into the movies. Never. Even as a youngster. I became interested in movie music only because of the studio orchestras in Hollywood.
