I do understand the free market, having my economics degree, and if someone on the right had some good ideas, I'm not so dogmatic that I wouldn't listen to them.

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

That's why we had Louis C.K. portray the harder line Communist, to accuse [Dalton] Trumbo of being a hypocrite.

When something so unjust as the black list happened, [Dalton Trumbo] would come to life in a certain way.

I figure if it's turns out well the film will have its own momentum and will carry into the video release. So it's hard to really picture the DVD version when I'm in production.

But I couldn't cut that whole septic tank scene out because the audience liked it so much. So I sort of fell right back into getting a cheap laugh, but I still loved it.

Dalton Trumbo was constantly criticizing the membership [in the Communist Party], and was opposite to being a loyalist.
