'Star Wars' is fun, its exciting, its inspirational, and people respond to that. Its what they want. |
[He also spoke about his strong interest in Television saying,] My life is too short to become a film studio, ... TV is an easier medium to work in. It's more fun. There's not as much pressure. [It's] a good medium to experiment in, without as much downside [as film]. |
[Noting the new digital camera would enable him to] finally catch up with the amateur consumer market, ... This is it. This is the revolution, and I'm in the middle of it. It's a great time to be alive. |
After that only the VHS and DVD copies that people have purchased will be left, ... That's not a problem, as each VHS copy has been encrypted to write commands to any VCR that tries to play them after a certain date to erase the tape.

I figured if I got posters and T-shirts and things with the name of the movie on it, it would help promote the movie. The whole idea that licensing would be a revenue stream didn't occur to anybody. |
I got the licensing rights because I figured they wouldn't promote the film and if I got posters and T-shirts and things out there with the name of the film on them it would help promote the movie. So, you know, the whole idea that licensing was a revenue stream didn't really occur to anybody, including me. |
I have hundreds of projects that I want to do, and I'm running out of time - so they'll never get done, I'm afraid. |
I put all of my resources into pushing the evolution in an industry that is notoriously backwards and I enjoy pushing that envelope, |
I see it as an opportunity to save the park, ... I love the park. I did not want to see it turned into a shopping mall. |
