Philip Kaufman quotes about
I'm interested in stories about people as we knew them in the near-recent future.
It just seemed to me to be a great story, set back in its time but something that seemed to have relevance for our time. Now that the film is coming out, it looks like we're back in another time where repression of expression is all the rage.
What's really interesting about that is that a lot of these words that were incendiary in their time now seem almost harmless and laughable, because they have this archaic quality.
Making movies can be a creative exciting project for director and rest of staff.
You can have a lot of unhappiness by not having money, but the reverse is no guarantee of happiness.
The truth is, I'm drawn to all kinds of things.
