I Had A Great '70s.

I Have No Lucky Charm. I Am 100 Percent Superstition-free, And I Take Nothing For Granted.

I Love Seeing Somebody Act Real Earnest And Serious, Like Jackie Gleason. He Makes Me Laugh Because He Reflects Back To Me My Own Serious-mindedness And How Ridiculous It All Is. It's Always Easier To See Somebody Else In That Position Than Yourself, And You Laugh. It's Like The Classic Slipping On The Banana Peel, Or Someone Getting Hit By A Pie In The Face. Why Do Those Things Make Us Laugh? Is It From Relief, Like: Thank God It Wasn't Me? Or Is It Something Else: I'm Being Very Serious Now. I'm Pontificating Earnestly And Solemnly About-pow! Pie In The Face! The Bust-up Of Certainty.

I've Worked With A Lot Of First-time Directors Who Kind Of Look To Me For Ideas And Opinions And Stuff, And I'm A Team Player.

Well, When We Made 'tron' There Was No Internet, No Cellphones.

I Can See How A Relationship With A Writer Would Be An Easy Thing.
