In the December 9 issue of Entertainment Weekly, director Steven Spielberg talks about growing up in Arizona and how it influenced his filmmaking:
"We subscribed to a magazine called Arizona Highways. It was always shots of roads going to infinity, going off into the vanishing points. I tried to appropriate a little bit of this lonely road to nowhere for Close Encounters. So the idea of a straight-line highway going to a vanishing point is compelling."
As a new resident of Arizona, I find myself staring and dreaming along these saguaro-studded straight roads myself. I trust it will boost my creativity.
