I saw various stories as to how you started in the business.
And we always get the whole persevere and just keep working and network.
Are there any comments from either of you
as to how to [C] start and being a week out of graduation,
[Ab] any advice for us?
People who have great ambitions, I guess all of us,
to be, you know, design a spaceship
or to become a president or a senator.
And there's so much disappointment.
So few people can ever really achieve what their dreams are.
I'm sometimes suspicious of these great goals
that we have in mind for ourselves
because we can get tripped up and become
disappointed and cynical and depressed about it all.
Few of us can design spaceships or become presidents
or become Steven Spielberg.
Maybe better to get outside of ourselves
and confront with joy and pleasure
and a sense of opportunity, every little simple task
we're given, rather than to try to do the big task,
rather than to try to shoot Gone With the Wind,
but do a postcard and then [A] grow from there,
even though our eye is on Gone With the Wind,
maybe where it shouldn't be.
Maybe that should be something that
is a result of a path that leads to a goal.
I certainly wish all of you [Ab] great, great success
in your work and a good feeling that we have in the room here.
I hope you have some good, some good, joyous production
from all of [Gb] you.
Just remember to learn your craft.
Even before you start to think of yourself as an artist,
learn your craft.
Because you really shouldn't think of yourself as an artist.
You should let other people think of you as an artist.
And you just need, when somebody comes to you
with an opportunity, giving you a shot,
you've got to be able to take that opportunity
and be able to give them [G] something that they're
expecting from you, which is a basic knowledge of the craft,
of putting together a story.
And I think that's what I think AFI is providing all of you
with, those learning tools, those opportunities.
Well, thank you for coming.
Thank you to all the fellows.
And I hope this has been of value to some of you.
And I hope you've learned a bit more about why we do what we do
and why we do it together,
And we always get the whole persevere and just keep working and network.
