With my goal to make a family drama and also my artistic aspirations of doing things which are a bit edgy, I've gotten a really happy marriage in 'The Weather Man', ... Gore went outside the box and did something personal and artistic, but at the same time it hits all the right notes in terms of children that may be going through a divorce, or a husband and wife dealing with it in a way that's not Pollyanna or saccharine or B.S.

James Dean was an actor, but he had an amazing legacy in that he became famous for never really growing up, ... He's personified, immortalized as an adolescent character in film, which is fascinating to me. He didn't go into the other areas because he wasn't with us long enough.
