Michael Roemer looks back

“I spent the last 40 years of my life writing scripts not made into movies. After a while, you kind of take a certain pride in not having been a success. I’m simply not a commercial filmmaker.”

“If I could have made popular films, I would have. But I believe in something. If I betray it, then I destroy myself.”

“The truth is, failure can be a very honorable thing. It’s not that you have a failure. It’s what you do with it.”
