It's the way he says it. Especially when you've just spent 90 minutes watching him descend into overblown moviemaking debauchery and chaos. So don't just read it - watch and listen. It still gives me goose bumps to hear him. Share it around. It's inspiring stuff.

'To me the great hope is that now these little 8mm video recorders and stuff have come out, some... just people who normally wouldn't make movies are going to be making them, and - you know - suddenly, one day, some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart - you know - and make a beautiful film with her little father's camera...corder - and for once the so-called professionalism about movies will be destroyed... Forever... And it will really become an art form. ?

That's my opinion.'


AMAZING.
