So he went to my grandparents and said: "Look, you have to give me the seed money to open up one of these places. We'll make a fortune. They've got lines going round the block. There's nothing like that here."

It was off of that conversation that my father went to college on a music scholarship, started a film club and became one of the most successful directors of all time.”
