I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.
I worked for Sam Peckinpah on quite a bit of action in his films, and he got excited once in a while.
Donner likes what he does and enjoys being on a set. He doesn't have to do it, its not like he has to make the rent. When I get to be his age and still enjoy what I'm doing like him, I'd be lucky.
