My folks split Hungary when the Russian tanks rolled in 1956 and I was born three years later. I loved movies when I was a kid. That, of course, really influences you, that more than anything makes you want to do it, if that s your goal, your aim. More than movies for me, it was also books. I ve always loved story telling, but books always had a special place for me.
People pick their own path.
Who knows why. I was just bound and determined to do this for a living. This is going to sound like a glib answer, but its not. Every movie that I ever saw that grabbed me, transported me, that told me something. I loved David Lean, I loved John Ford, I loved Kubrick.
