almost anyway canadian-actor files television watch watched
I've almost never watched The X Files through. I was never a fan, I don't watch much television anyway so it's nothing personal.
believe directed poster
I still look at the poster and can't believe I directed this movie.
against allow almost fun head hold knows mad nick people position
I don't think people can be mad at Nick or hold anything against him, because he almost makes fun of himself, ... He knows how other people feel about him. So he disarms them. He will not allow them to get into his head because he already knows their position on him.
amazing bodily canadian-actor central delicacy function handled issues premise
Yes, there are bodily function issues that are a central premise of this movie and I think they're handled with amazing delicacy of humor.
canadian-actor final performer
When you have a performer as talented as Bill Murray or as Harold, that can write as well as they can perform, you can do a final draft on the set if you think of it that way.
canadian-actor explicit remarkably shows talk violent
In many ways, I think that, while we've been remarkably violent in our media, there's been a real schizophrenia. In private, on the Internet, and on public-affairs shows or talk radio, we're way more explicit than we've ever been.
believe characters decided early movies seemed smoking spin tobacco whereas
Very early on, I decided I didn't want smoking in the movie. It's not really a movie about smoking, but about lobbying. Tobacco is just the setting. It's not that I believe in the idea that movies should be responsible and not show smoking. But I think if the characters had been smoking, it would have seemed a pro-smoking movie, whereas it's about lobbying and spin and talk.

Evolution ... Just the right formula of science and comedy may get moviegoers through the door
sex thinking people
I think if people want to see pure sex in the movie, they have the Internet and the extraordinary things are available.
strings-attached way honest
Comedy is a very delicate business, especially comedies that sort of attempt to do things in an honest way and in a very naturalistic way the way that 'No Strings Attached' is.
drama watches caught
We watch movies about all sorts of things that we don't know anything about, but we do get caught up in the human drama.
horror sci-fi
I love horror and sci-fi.
fiction science-fiction
I'd always been a science fiction enthusiast.
