The movies I made early on may not have been great, but they were all commercially successful.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In my early days, I didn't know what a good film or a bad film was, and I was trying to make some money. As it happens I was lucky. I made some good films.
I had a whole bunch of very successful movies. I have worked with some incredible people - incredible.
Certainly, a lot of the films I've worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven't always been the best experiences.
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'm sure there have been missed opportunities, with films I've turned down that went on to be successful, but everyone in the industry has had that happen.
I made about 28 movies, and I think about five of them were good.
I think early in my career, I didn't choose films that were crappy films, necessarily, but I didn't go out and campaign for smaller, better roles.
The dramas that I worked on were successful, but not the movies. I still have many opportunities, and I will not be discouraged.
I think I've made some pretty decent films in the '80s and '90s.
There were very, very large sums of money that I made when I was very young - 15 million published works and a great many successful movies don't make nothin'.
