I've Had A Lot Of Movies That

Producers - We Always Think, "well, Producers Are Very Powerful," But Producers Don't Really Have The Power. It's The Appearance They Might, But They Don't. Even The Actors Don't. Even The Studio Heads Don't, Because They're Beholden To This Corporation And What The Corporation Wants. So No One Really Has The Power, And Everybody's Trying To Get Through The Day, And Everybody's Nervous And Desperate.

I Don't Know What Bruce Willis Has Done In Real Life. We Know Actors Have Certainly Had Tirades - That's For Sure. I Never Had Troubles With Him, But The Big Issue Is Really Less About What Bruce Is, As Opposed To - This Behavior Has Taken Place, And Sometimes It Came Out At Something That Had Credibility, As Opposed To, "no, I Want To Be Fat And Have A Beard." Other People Say, "i Don't Give A Damn About The Credibility. I Paid $20 Million. I Want To See A Movie Star."

I Don't Know That You Can Do It As A Satire. I Mean, The Business Is Crazy Enough As It Is. It's Like Doing Wag The Dog - We Took A Thing That Was Almost Completely Absurd On One Level, And Then Ultimately Those Things Came About.

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

There Was A Time When I Said, "i'm Going To Go Do A Television Thing," After Doing All These Theatrical Films, And Heard, "television? Why Are You Going To Go Back To Television?" It's An Interesting Place.
