The big one I missed out on was 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.' MGM wanted me for it, and Warner Bros. wouldn't give me permission to do it.

When I went to Warner Bros., there was a woman named Bonnie Lee who was an executive who helped me to get to 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure.'

Warner Bros offered me the next Batman, and the only reason that I didn't do it was because of The Saint.

I gave up on the big screen. The Witching Hour was at Warner Bros. for 10 years and it just didn't work out.

I became merely a pawn used to produce more money for Warner Bros.

I was really disappointed that Warner Bros. didn't think highly enough of my film or my filmmaking to ask me to make the new Superman.
