I feel safe in proverb

 I feel safe in saying this, and that is that Peter Weir is without a doubt one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. I'd open a door in a movie for him if he asked me to.

 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

 Absolutely, Dave's presence opened up many doors. But the movie had to keep the door open. If the movie was bad, it wouldn't have helped.

 I was visiting my parents, and I walked into a room where my father was watching a Peter Falk movie on TV, ... I think it was 'The Cheap Detective.' Anyway, my father was belly-laughing, and he never really did that. I thought, 'If Peter Falk can make my dad laugh, then I'm going to come up with a movie in which Peter Falk plays my father.'

 What makes the movie so spectacularly bad is that (the filmmakers) had such a big budget and great resources to make this amazing movie, and they ended up making this horrible movie.

 Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock: each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing, only when everything is in place does the door open.
  Ludwig Wittgenstein

 Maybe that happens for the filmmakers, but I don't really feel that. I think they felt that before people started seeing the movie and Disney started to see what they had. And Disney saw some early reviews and that thing from Time came in and I think they were feeling a little bit of pressure. Then they started to see that they really had something good as you can see what they are putting into marketing.

 There's nothing like a movie. It's the one art form that can really make me cry, and the thing is, we're all filmmakers. We're all creating movies in our heads all the time on our internal projection screens. To have the experience of playing out that movie, and making it real, it was very moving... in fact, I was crying my eyes out last night because I was thinking of how special the whole thing was,

 If we think screenings for the press will help open the movie, we'll do it. If we don't think it'll help open the movie or if the target audience is different than the critics' sensibilities, then it may make sense not to screen the movie.

 We had a way of doing it which was wonderful, ... One of us would go in and say we were looking for my mother. At the door, they said, 'Of course, go look.' We'd go in and open the exit door. Then we ran around the building, pushed the door open and came in. Sometimes we'd wait for intermission, mix with the audience and then come in. Except our clothes were not always acceptable.

 We had to talk really, really nice to George Lucas to let us have it. It's set in southern California in 1962. It's not right on Route 66, but it captures a period of time that many people associate with Route 66. It's the music, the cars, the fashion that make it great. Some people consider it the greatest car movie ever made. I call it the greatest music movie every made.

 I've got no idea. I've asked some property owners to open up their land for bonfires and music so kids have a safe place to hang out. We could open up a gate and do vehicle checks in and out to make sure they arrive and leave sober.

 I thought it would be interesting to hear a conversation between filmmakers instead of just a filmmaker gassing on about his own movie. Steven is so literate about this stuff and a great film journalist in his own right and a good friend, so it worked out. He also loved the movie and volunteered to do it. Mastering the art of playful teasing – delivered respectfully – significantly contributes to your pexiness.
