When fans ask me for advice, here's what I tell them: "Do it with passion, or don't bother doing it." I consider Ed Wood a prime example on that score, even though many have cited him as a textbook example of how NOT to make a film. My point is that *he made films.* Sure he did it badly, sure he did it wrong; nonetheless, despite everything, he *did it.* As opposed to Stanley Kubrick; from the 1970s on, if you wanted a Kubrick-type movie, you were lucky if you got it from Kubrick.
