I actually think we made it better without succumbing to other people's idea about what would make it better. Everybody's happy now. We're a big happy family. |
I can report that we are a hit in Germany, |
I don't even defend the film any more. It stands on its own two legs and it would be a pity if people don't go and see it, |
I don't have a problem (with the bad reviews). |
I hate being dragged into genres. I like movies that are full of a lot of conflicting and interesting things, |
I just e-mailed him the other day saying I'm lying to the world that he's still in it, ...

I said, `I'm not speaking with these guys ever again,' and I didn't. There were a lot of the Miramax minions floating around, but you swat them away. They're like flies. |

I think a once in a lifetime experience is what we call these things, |
I think a once in a lifetime experience is what we call these things. I said at the beginning of this one to Bob, 'We've both made it independently. We're both outspoken. We're both arrogant.
