We're Never Going To Be The Ultimate-insider

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.

It's Such A Funny Thing. Hollywood Is Terrible Unless You Happen To Be A Celebrity Who's A Republican. So Ronald Reagan Can Be A Hollywood Celebrity, And He's A Republican, And Then He Can Become The President, And That's Okay. Fred Thomson, Well, That's Okay. But The Rest We Need To Demonize. There's No Consistency.

I Think Certain Movies Work And That Is Part Of The Magic Of It All. We Can't Truly Define Why Something Succeeds.

Even Back In The '90s, I Shot Certain Things On Something That Wasn't Digital Then, But It Was On Vhs With A Smaller Camera And We Would Up It To Film.

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.
