destroyed family grew
I grew up in a family of storytellers, but Google has destroyed us because you can fact-check everything. We'd always like the stories to be a little better than they were.
famous floors life looks people seven since sitting understand
I do know something about the news world. I was sitting on the floors of newsrooms since I was seven years old, and I've been around them my whole life. I understand that someone looks at a story with famous people in it, and you want to put it out.
One of my favorite films is 'Big Fish,' which I think is a masterpiece.
anyone famous moron
I think anyone who is famous is a moron if they're on Twitter. It's just stupid.
figuring instead looked married truth work
I'd think, 'In a relationship, we should never have his kind of fight.' Then, instead of figuring out how to make it work, I looked for a way to get out of it. The truth is, you shouldn't be married if your that kind of person.

I could prove God statistically. Take the human body alone - the chances that all the functions of an individual would just happen is a statistical monstrosity.
american-businessman attention instrument merely paying pays polling public views
Polling is merely an instrument for gauging public opinion. When a president or any other leader pays attention to poll results, he is, in effect, paying attention to the views of the people. Any other interpretation is nonsense.
audiences connect dramas filling movies people relate
There's been a vacuum with movies that people can relate to. There's been a paucity of dramas that people can relate to. I think audiences are clamoring to connect - particularly after 9/11 - with things that are genuine and real and I think documentaries are filling that need.
films generally
Generally in my films like 'Hearts of Darkness' or 'Picture This,' I try not to make myself a presence in the film.
