All my movies have an autobiographical dimension, but that is indirectly, through the characters. In fact I am behind everything that happens and that is said, but I am never talking about myself in first person. Something in me -probably a dislike of cheap exhibitionism- stops me from approaching a project too autobiographically.

Morgan had been authorized as a constable.. Wyatt Earp had warrants for these characters, and the sheriff had warrants for Wyatt Earp. So it was crazy the way things were done.

You go through a whole procedure before you can even pitch an idea. They would only talk to me very generally about stories and characters until I had signed a release that said Marvel is developing many story ideas in many arenas and even if a story later emerges that is very much like mine, it might have existed before and I will not under any circumstances sue them.
