But at a certain point, and I don't really know... people have asked me this. I don't know exactly what it was that pushed me towards directing, but I think it was a naive notion that if I directed I would be able to play all the roles. A kind of greed.
Peter Bogdanovich
One of the things that wrong with pictures today, I think, is that so many of the people making them started out wanting to.
Peter Bogdanovich
The actors are in control, getting outrageous amounts of money. The reason they're getting this kind of money is because the studios don't know what else to do. They don't have a clue about what to do except to pay an actor a lot of money.
Peter Bogdanovich

Peter Bogdanovich
