There are many aspects to directing that have a romantic place in people's minds.

I got the sense that Alabama is a place where people don't want handouts and don't much care for people talking out of the side of their mouth.

We lost our minds in the '80s and '90s; we really as a society just felt that everyone could only care about themselves. There was no responsibility to discuss what's going on in your town, your state, your nation. And it was a blast, it was really fun, but it doesn't work.

Arnold Schwarzenegger cut teacher's salaries and parks and libraries rather than raise taxes for the many California millionaires and billionaires.

A place does not become good by your physical aspects, but by the people who are present in it.

Celebrities and 'famous' people are just regular folks. I know, it's a shocking and potentially dangerous statement.
