ball issue move steep trying whatever
I don't think you should necessarily listen to a celebrity just because he is one. But if you can marshal your celebrity and really steep yourself in whatever issue you're trying to promote, it can actually move the ball forward, and we've done that.
came cliche met rat rubber scare shake shook time trying
The first time I ever met Stephen King, he came up to me, and we went to shake hands, and he had, like, this fake rubber rat that he kind of, you know, shook at me.

This is the greatest support we could ever give to our troops because what we are trying to do is protect them from going into harm's way needlessly, ...

aside family far helped norman trying
As far as getting my start, it was really Norman Lear, even aside from being on 'All in the Family.' He helped me get my start as a director. He was the one who said, 'Let him do 'Spinal Tap.' Let him give it a try,' because I had been trying for years to get that thing off the ground.

adult courtroom few good men studios today
There's not one film that I've ever made that could get made today by a studio, not one - even 'A Few Good Men' because it's an adult courtroom drama, and studios do not make them any more. And so every movie that I make, have made and will make is always going be independently financed.

allow anybody applied fire gotta grace jennifer mean respect saw scenes seen separate somebody strength
I gotta tell you I have never seen anybody with such grace under fire as Jennifer was. I mean I have such respect for her. I never saw somebody exhibiting the kind of strength that she had. There were times when what she was going through applied in scenes and she would allow that to happen, but for the most part, you have to separate those things and do your work, and so she was extraordinary.
