"I have had the honor of working with such Hollywood titans as Orson Welles and John Huston, in the early stages of my career. Our paths crossed while working on various projects. I was too young and naive to know I 'wasn't supposed to speak with them.' So, I spent countless hours just listening to their what-drives-them stories. I shall never forget my fortuitous opportunities to be blessed by their presence. Their legacies live on in cinematic history."
