awards everybody gasoline guys lit money poured recognized took wishes won worked
You know, I live in Michigan, ... I've worked with a lot of guys who make a lot more money than I do and have won awards and all that. I don't brood about it, but it's there, and everybody wishes they were recognized more, appreciated more. So I just kind of took that, poured gasoline on it and lit it. Then I had (Bernard). Then he was there.
thinking listening littles
I think the American electorate should work a little harder at getting informed. That includes hearing, truly listening, to what the other side is saying. Whether you're left or right.

Marin is a wonderful place. It feels like such an artists' community. I really feel how people who live here value all types of art.

I did ('Dumb & Dumber') when my career was kind of floundering, ... . . . I knew it was a comedy only 15-year-old boys would like. None of us knew it would explode (into a blockbuster hit) the way it did.

career country decision family lived means michigan moved movies rising star stuck whatever
I moved to Michigan in 1986 after 10 years in New York, ... Whatever star I had was rising (at the time), but Kathleen and I made the decision that family would come first and career second. We stuck to it. That means I was on airplanes; that means I didn't do movies back to back to back; that means I lived in a part of the country that is unglamorous. I wasn't around to go to other people's premieres. I was not in L.A. or Hollywood. I was in Michigan.

He's so overmatched. He's just a corporate guy,
allowed arrogance history last love man money people press repeating several speak stood time wonderful wrong
I love how one man in the press stood up and said, 'Wait a minute, there is something very wrong here,' ... Especially in the last several years, the press has not done that or not been allowed to do that -- take your pick. We don't have McCarthyism today, but history is repeating itself. . . . Money is everything, there is an arrogance of power, people speak up and are demoted. It's a wonderful time for this movie to come out.
