The line between being a nurturing parent and an over-bearing, damaging parent is one that's very delicate.

New York is the greatest character actor ever. Any film that is shot in New York is elevated by the city.

Well, I look at it like this: When you go to a restaurant, the less you know about what happens in the kitchen, the more you enjoy your meal. If the soup tastes good, everything's cool, and you don't necessarily want to know what's in it. The same thing holds true with movies.

And it's one reason why I don't go to a lot of movies - they're more and more dominated by corporate values and fiscal concerns as opposed to cinematic concerns.
