I thought a great line in the What Just Happened movie said, "We're just the mayonnaise."
Barry LevinsonI think it's a promising time which will show a lot of diversification that we've seen in the past.
Barry LevinsonSarah Palin kept talking and talking, and the more she talks, the less compelling she can be. People say, "She's a very good politician, very deft at what she does," and whatever. And I hear that sometimes and go, "I don't know much about this stuff, but I would say no." Because the really good politician expands the audience, not contracts it. She may be getting a very vocal crowd, but it's a very specific group.
Barry LevinsonI think when Sarah Palin opened her mouth and started talking, the more she talked, the less appealing she became.
Barry LevinsonSome actors are supposed to be very difficult, but I've not found that to be the situation.
Barry LevinsonI don't see Sarah Palin suddenly spilling over to a wider group where suddenly they go, "Wait a minute, I've heard her message, and now I'm beginning..." It's not expanding it. A politician that doesn't expand from the base is not a good politician. So I disagree with all the talking heads that go "Well, she's a very good politician." She's not! Good politicians expand, and she doesn't.
