I got ideas comin' outta my head, man, I'm 55! What's wrong with you guys sayin' you're old, when you're like my age, or younger! You're not old! Don't tell me, "Oh, I'm 48, I'm gettin' too old fer this." Man, you're just a kid! Get motivated! You know, some of you will say, "Oh, you gotta do it digitally." Yeah, digital schmidgital! I don't need a computer to make a movie, I never have! I just shoot the dang thing. If you got a video camera, stick a blank tape in that machine, and film the dang thing! Quit makin' excuses, "Well, I don't have all this money. I need a budget so I can buy all this digital equipment." Use what ya got! "Well I didn't go to film school, I don't know if my movies are gonna be good er not." Don't worry about it! Just listen to your heart and you do it! You take charge of your own vision! And don't worry what other people think! And don't let your mom talk you outta makin' monster movies! I told my mom, I said. My mom said, "David I wish you'd grow up, and do somethin' more constructive with your time!" I said, "Mom, you can't stop me from makin' movies, because you know I'm gonna do it anyway!"
