Quote by Peter Guber
Nothing drew me to the film business. I was propelled by the fear and anxiety of Vietnam. I had been drafted into the Marines. My brother was already serving in Vietnam. I bought, if you will, a stay of execution - both literally and figuratively - and went on to graduate school of business from the law school that I was attending.
Summary
This quote reflects the speaker's motivation to enter the film business. The fear and anxiety caused by the looming Vietnam War draft propelled them to find a way out. By putting off their military service and opting for graduate school, the individual essentially bought themselves a reprieve from potential combat involvement. Their decision to pursue a business degree rather than law school was influenced by their desire to avoid the immediacy and gravity of military service and its consequences.
