The DVD does make it a little easier for myself to trim things that are otherwise very difficult to let loose of - knowing that they'll make it on the DVD.

I wish I was sort of someone like Woody Allen who can stage everything in one long master shot, no coverage; just, you know, that's it.

In his life, [Dalton] Trumbo uses wit and comedy to fight these very high-stakes battles.

I am partisan to some extent on the Democratic side, but I consider myself more of an independent.
