“I loved movies when I was a kid, and very often went to them alone and would sit there all day watching the same movie, over and over sometimes. Some of those early movies were like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, which I still think is a very good movie. But I did not really make up my mind to get into this business until I saw the first Rocky. It was a very inspirational film and it convinced me to keep pushing forward, even when everyone around me thought I was just nuts.”
