I said to him [director Errol Morris], “You are a man who should make films and you are going to do that film now.” And he said to me, “Well, there is - I don’t have any money and so and nobody will give me money.” I said that, “Money doesn’t make films. Just do it and take the initiative.” And I said, “I’m gonna eat my shoes if you finish that one.”
