When Silence of the Lambs did well commercially it was more than anything. My partner Ed Saxon and I were just so relieved that finally we had made a movie that had made some money!
To say that an idea is fashionable is to say, I think, that is has been adulterated to a point where it is hardly an idea at all.
So when I made some money, I didn't have any idea how one handled such a situation because no one in our family ever had any money.
