Often when you get a really good script, and you receive the new pages, you see that the entire thing has been dumbed down.

It's funny how you call me a celebrity. Oh man.
The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.
In the world of traditional economics, it shouldn't matter whether you use an opt-in or opt-out system.

Wow, I think you grow all the time when you're working. You start the job and by the end of it, if it's a long one, you kind of say, 'My God, I was so different at the start of this job.' I always feel like I've changed for the better with each one.
