A lot of people who are not familiar with film festivals need to see stars in their movie to make them want to see the film. Our hope is they'll see all the programming we have and want to see the other films, too.

Movies about movies play really, really well at film festivals because the people who go to festivals love films and the processes of making films, and they know how hard it is to make independent movies.

The film-festival crowd is a completely different animal. These people seek out movies at festivals . . . that they might not otherwise have the opportunity to see.

I have a romantic vision of the beautiful delineation between TV and film that existed for so many years. I romanticize the studio system and movie stars as a whole, but obviously that's just anachronistic and probably a non-reality.

I'm not sure two movie stars can run - not even here.

You know what you're going there for: to get that Lombardi (Trophy), not just to go to all those festivals.
