I saw Richard Linklater's film 'Slacker' for my twenty-first birthday. That was the moment when it all seemed possible. This guy gave me hope.

And George Carlin was a guy that the more he aged the younger he seemed.

He never gave the impression that he was, you know, a national guy. He was always a genuine, down- to-earth guy to me.

I'd see movies, comedies, and I loved 'Animal House', I loved all the John Hughes stuff, but I never saw me and my friends totally represented.

The moment seemed right to me for a full and, if possible, authoritative portrait of the life and character of the Prince of Wales.

He seemed like a normal guy to me, and a little bit probably even above average when you consider that he knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life and who he wanted to be with and where he wanted to stay.
