Personal Quotes

"I directed my first film at 24 years old. I was quite young and naïve, but it was something of a hit and that allowed me to make many more films." Interview, 2001.

(Talking about the acting in Galaxy of Terror (1981)) Everything in that movie is like a kabuki performance. Nothing is subtle, and everybody is so amped up.
