Yeah, I think that's it... It's like Jesse James. He became really popular because he lasted so long. You know, there is some degree of truth to the fact that time will dignify anything, too. |
Matter of fact, the style that people use today, I invented in a way. |
The filmmakers always have a great level of control. |
I mean, the old film critics just excoriated me. |
I've always been able to survive by writing, though. |
I became a loner. I became a mountain man. A lot of those things are very good qualities and they help you do your work, help you be singular and keep the artistic integrity of your work intact, but they don't make it very easy to live your life. |
I find that screenwriting is at best kind of a hackwork in some ways. |
Everybody's a filmmaker today. |
