In this 2007 interview filmmaker Terry Gilliam talks about his life and career from a kid doing cartoons to assistant magazine editor in New York to Monty Python and beyond, the usefulness of short films, the transition from animation to film director, making "Time Bandits" (1981), "Brazil" (1985), "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" (1988), "The Fisher King" (1991), "12 Monkeys" (1995), "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (1988), "The Brothers Grimm" (2005) and "Tideland" (2005), why his reputation as a budget buster is unfounded, what he thought about "Lost in La Mancha" (2002), what he loves about cinema, the pros and cons of CGI, why Hollywood is a strange place of rumors and creative accounting, what he regrets and why he still likes all his films.
