When we go out to the university, the professors always say, 'Tell these students about your five-year plan and your 10-year plan,' and I say, 'Gee, we're lucky if we have a year plan.'

That's peanuts for a five-year plan.

Sliced bread is only as good as the peanut butter and jelly on top of it.

You don't know what's going to happen in our business a year from now... so you have to be flexible and adaptable, and that's what we try to do.

We had a sort of five-year plan. Neil wanted to go off and do Hollywood, while I wanted to make little films in my barn, on my own, and not show them to anybody, and see how it went. And the idea was, I'd get a point of view, and he'd get some clout, and then we'd meet up in a few years and make a feature film. Which is pretty much how it worked.

Now we just have to get lucky for a year or two.
