No one is asking what happened to all the homeless. No one cares, because it's easier to get on the subway and not be accosted.

You make a film and you can't really pick the way it's put to the public. You control the content, but the way it's marketed, or the poster, or what they're telling the public about the film, it's beyond you. Some people don't even see them, because they think they already know it. That can be frustrating, when something you've done is marketed in a way you think is antithetical to what it is.

The rules of parenting have changed. By the modern definition, we were a generation of neglected children.
