After you do this for a while, you get used to things not working the way you want them to. There's a job you want, and you don't get it. There's a movie you'd like to get made, and it doesn't get made. You become inured to it.

If you learn the craft, you can make a movie and get by with tricks.

Because of the accumulation of objects, things are never quite the way I want them to be. There has always been a lack of, well, clarity.

I'd love to do a movie like 'Bullitt.'

I like to think of myself as a 'Mord the jailer' type.

There will be the 5% on the fringe of any hardcore fanbase that get angry about any change you make to the source material. The truth is that novels, games, comics, and what-have-you are not usually ready to be slapped up on screen as-is.
