I was being taken around by a press agent at the Venice Film Festival at age 18. Was it fun? Sure. But it was a dangerous path to be walking on as far as having a substantive life. Because the casualty rate at the Venice Film Festival for 18-year-olds? High.
I absolutely intend to return every penny given to me by my Democratic colleagues and Democratic leaders.
I love directing. It's where my heart is, and it's the way my mind works.
