Mein Job besteht darin, nach "verlorenen" Zitaten zu suchen - das heißt, ich möchte herausfinden, wer mit einem zitierfähigen Spruch aufkam, der sich in den Gedanken einer Person aufhält und die sie für ihre eigenen Zwecke verwenden möchte und die sie nicht in herkömmlichen Zitatenwörterbüchern finden kann.

That's why I'm really trying to produce my own stuff. This film was so good, because I produced it myself, and developed it, and made it with New Line, which is a smaller studio, so I was in control of a lot of stuff that I wasn't in control of for my other films.
