I've done movies in the past that have so many characters and I find it's very hard to follow all these stories. You end up not caring about any of the people and I thought that would be the case in this film, and you had these big speeches for each character, you know, it's like "God that's how you'll have to cut that down in order to paste it all", to edit the movie and my representatives could say "no, you really you ought to check it out.

My wife holds the kite strings that let me go 'weeeeeee', then she reels me back in.

Sticking with a marriage. That's true grit, man.
