I really wanted to produce movies and didn't want to mix two occupations because I've always thought that being a "manager" and a "producer" with your clients is a conflict of interest . . . That is, unless you can somehow separate the roles completely. Agents have become managers so they can partner with their clients. The only problem is, as a producer, when you're talking to a manager you're generally not sure whether you're talking to the representative of the actor or someone, who, when you finally make the deal, says, "Oh, and by the way, I have to be one of the producers with a million-dollar fee and a back=end deal" . . .

He went to work for Look Magazine and that turned into a movie directing career. I took a different route. Hide
