The business has changed in every way. Back in the day, when Vivien Leigh was cast as Scarlett O'Hara, you know, she was relatively unknown, and every big star in the world wanted to do that part. Now they would just cast the biggest star. Financiers don't support their directors to cast properly. They don't have the vision of an artist, they're casting to spreadsheets and it's making movies very mediocre. The movie business used to just be called the movies. Now it should be the business movies.

Hippy people had a hopeful idea of what they wanted the world to be like, then most of them changed into corporate Yuppies. But I still have that hippy thing underneath somewhere.

I liked the premise of this material. I love the marriage relationship. They kind of keep each other honest, and they enjoy each other's sense of humor. Kind of a sexy but boring relationship.
