No one was jumping up and saying, 'Yeah, let me give you money.' I had never held a camera in my hand - a home video camera, nothing. I had not directed.
I used to work a lot on food issues and every time somebody predicted that production would be inadequate they got egg on their face a year or two later.
I am a genius who has written poems that will survive with the best of Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Keats.
