This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology. He has no problem--and he's cashed plenty of checks--with our show making fun of Christians.
And there's a visceral fun in watching Team America and making it, like taking a puppet and throwing it against the wall. Because it's not CG, there's something funny about it.
It's the business of movies, it's the fights that go along with the level of budget, and more than anything, it's the creative constipation of having to live with one idea for two or three years. It's just not that fun.
We've rewritten entire scenes and had them animated twelve hours before the show goes on the air. It's not fun.
With luck, timing and knowledge, there is investment potential. But buy cars you like, and buy them because you like them..... I don't know that I'd tell the casual buyer to drop their mutual funds.
So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun!
We don't feel pressure of, 'Let's make this really raunchy.' It's more about making a good story, which is 10 times harder. The raunchy stuff's really easy for us.
Manufacturers are still trying to define the crossover vehicle, and we will continue to see a variety of crossover vehicles enter the marketplace. No one wants to be just a minivan or a sedan owner anymore.
You know, the mayor is a very complex individual, and he and I have had some very sharp public disagreements, ... But he's a case study in how to maximize your power and authority, whether others like it or not.
With religion I was always like, 'Does it matter if it's true if it makes you happy?'
We were the only ones interested in comedy. Everybody else wanted to be Martin Scorsese.
Ripping on Republicans is not that fun for us only because everyone else does it.
He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin.
I just hate that Lucas... and it is not just Lucas, because everybody does it, where, boom, they get it out, and then there's a special edition for a movie that doesn't deserve a special edition.
