This is a great quote from writer/director/actor Adam Rifkin. He’s had an eclectic and accomplished career and expertly weaves from the studio world to the independent world.
“Nobody I know who loves what they do would ever consider kicking back. To me making movies is like sex, the more I do it, the more I want to do it. I absolutely love making movies! It’s been my dream ever since I was 3 or 4 years old, why would I ever want to stop? John Houston made movies into his 80s, Woody Allen steadily cranks out a movie a year and has been doing so since the 60s! The guy is 74! And Clint Eastwood is banging out 2 movies a year and he’s almost 80! I wanna be like those guys. I wanna be making movies until they have to pry the bullhorn out of my cold dead hand.”
Great quote. I couldn’t agree more.
