Now I have worked with a lot of terrific directors, and I don't mean to be putting any of them below their own station, but these two, I relish working with them.

We know its a very clean-burning fuel. It's renewable ... all we need to do is make it available.
Anyone anywhere in the world who has the service will have front row seats right in the comfort of their own home. Think about that.
People hear that and say I'm being modest, but I am not a modest person, but I have to be truthful about what I'm doing and what I'm doing is channeling.
I want to thank everybody and anybody who ever had anything to do with the making of this picture.
