people done amusing
Paul Lucas had a particularly amusing accent, so I chuckled. That was terrible; I shouldn't have done that, but he took it too big. He got up and said he couldn't work with people who laughed at him!
people littles tape
I went to Washington to ask for a little residual payment for the people who had written films in the early, early days, people who never got any residuals on tapes or anything at all.
writing people secret
I would say the secret is to be enthusiastic about everything that comes into your life. To care, to care about people. To be excited about everything that comes close to you. I love to read. And I love to write, mostly.
attention copyright extended paid prior
Now the copyright has been extended 20 years, but prior to that they paid no attention to these people, and some of them really need help.
came express turned understand
When I did try to express myself it came out pretty tinny, but even so they could understand what I was saying. That turned out to be a plus.
came days hoping maybe open several
I thought maybe he would like me to do WILSON, and he was hoping that I wouldn't. It was several days before we came to an open understanding.
experience free good happy joyous liberated life titanic
I think to have done TITANIC would have been a tortuous experience altogether. I feel good about where my life is, now. I feel free and joyous and happy and more liberated than I have ever been.
anyone fair fun good knew leave room tease trying
He was just trying to tease me-I knew that later-but he said he'd have to leave because it wasn't fair to have anyone in the room who was going to make fun of what he had to say. He had a good sense of humor, really.
admired came good john married monk
I always admired good writing and read everything that came out. When I was married to John Monk Saunders, he read everything, too.
charge horror totally
When we were making KONG, I went into the sound room and made an aria of horror sounds. I was in charge of it; there was no one there to listen to me. I was totally in charge of what I wanted to do.
arms compulsive washed
Crawford washed her hands a lot. She washed her arms all the way up past her elbows. She just couldn't get enough done in that direction. She was compulsive about being clean, clean, clean!
bother chief john related
She wanted us to feel we were above everyone in the town. She really did tell us that we were related to Chief Justice John Marshall, and that may have been true. I never did bother to find out.
For the purposes of the play, it was perfect to be able to use that and the stresses and strains that there were. At the end of the play, the mother realizes the terrible things she had done.
based became believed misery saw
I thought I saw him for what he was-or what I thought he was. And he was talented, no doubt about that. But, he thought his talent was based on misery and that if he became happy it would just go. He believed that.
