The prime motivation in making almost any film is success, because film is the art form of the 20th century.
art business trouble
The trouble with movies as a business is that it's an art, and the trouble with movies as art is that it's a business.
artist pals stuff
And their pals vote for their stuff when they're not on the panel, and it just keeps going that way. And they tend to be very fringe artists, so anything before the 20th century is not worth considering. This is out of date.
art example film
Undeniably the American art form, too. And yet more and more, we see films made that diminish the American experience and example. And sometimes trash it completely.

I am very proud of the fact that I led the arts contingent on the civil rights march in the summer of '63. In many ways, I think it was the high-water mark of the civil rights movement.

As an artist, I understand that, and I value the creative input of the artist.

You cut their money back, for one thing... I go back a long way with the NEA.
came coming era studio until
The big studio era is from the coming of sound until 1950, until I came in... I came in at a crux in film, which was the end of the studio era and the rise of filmmaking.
quite
It's been quite a ride. I loved every minute of it.
thinking alcohol our-society
I think narcotics and alcohol, and even tobacco are enormously costly ingredients in our society.
