I'm Fascinated By Documentaries, To Begin With.

Ronald Reagan Was This Actor Who Was Going To Be President, And He Was Very Charming. What He Had Was, He Talked About America In Ways That Got People All Caught Up In It. He Was Creating This America - It Could Even Be The Mythical "america" - That We Subscribe To.

Sarah Palin Kept Talking And Talking, And The More She Talks, The Less Compelling She Can Be. People Say, "she's A Very Good Politician, Very Deft At What She Does," And Whatever. And I Hear That Sometimes And Go, "i Don't Know Much About This Stuff, But I Would Say No." Because The Really Good Politician Expands The Audience, Not Contracts It. She May Be Getting A Very Vocal Crowd, But It's A Very Specific Group.

No One Really Has The Power, And Everybody's Trying To Get Through The Day, And Everybody's Nervous And Desperate.

I Think When Sarah Palin Opened Her Mouth And Started Talking, The More She Talked, The Less Appealing She Became.

First Of All, Just To Get Diner Made Would Have Been An Achievement In That I Got A Chance To Direct.
