If You Write A Movie For Roger

There Was A Widespread Indignation In The American Media. They Were Saying, How Can You Make A Movie During An Election That's About Politics? What Are You Doing? Are You Trying To Influence People's Lives? To Which My Response Was, Well, I Hope So.

I've Always Got Five Or Six Things That Would Either Make A Good Feature Or Tv Show. And You Just Never Know. You Go And You Pitch And It May Be Exactly What They're Looking For, Or They May Stop You After Two Sentences And Say, "oh, We've Already Done Something Just Like That."

I Never Actually Do Rehearsals. That's One Of The Reasons That I Write Those Bios And If I Can Meet With The Actors I'll Meet Them Or Talk To Them On The Phone. What I Want Is For Them To Come On Set Knowing Their Lines And Knowing Who The Character Is.

In A Movie You Have All These Logistical Problems; All These Practical Problems. But You're Also Going To Have People Come Who Can Do Things That You Can't Do, And You Get To Direct Their Talents.

The Media In America Has Become So Cowed And Compromised.
