And He's Got To Sell This Movie To Get His Money Back. That's The Brains Of It; That's The Genius Of This Financing. "you Want Germany? Give Us A Million Dollars And You've Got Germany."

Whatever You Do, Always Give 100%. Unless You're Donating Blood.

I Was At The New York Film Critics Circle Awards One Year - They Called Me Up When Somebody Canceled Two Days Before The Thing, And Asked Me To Present Some Awards. So I Went, And One Of The Funniest Film Moments I've Ever Had Was When They Introduced The New York Film Critics. They All Stood Up - Motley Isn't The Word For That Group. Everybody Had Some Sort Of Vision Problem, Some Sort Of Damage - I Had To Bury Myself In My Napkin.
