And, of course, the reason agents want you to do bigger projects is that they make a bigger cut.

I used to listen to music from the frosting down. As a word nerd, lyrics are really important to me, and then the melody. Playing in the Rock*A*Teens was the first time I ever heard music from the bottom up. I was hearing songs I'd heard a million times on oldies radio, and I'd be like, "Wow, listen to what the bass is doing!"

If you would have told me I was going to make that 15 or 20 years ago, I would have been very surprised.

The Cable Guy was underbudgeted, so it was always a debate about whether we could have more days or certain things that we needed, because the budget was determined before the script was written.

But it was actually a successful movie.

NATO could be obsolete, because - and I was very strong on this, and it was actually covered very accurately in the New York Times, which is unusual for the New York Times, to be honest - but I said, they do not focus on terror. And I was very strong. And I said it numerous times.

This has happened 50 times in the last 5 years and probably 20 times at my desk in the last 2 years.
