I was editing these scenes long after I thought I was finished with them.

The fact is I'm actually not ANYTHING.

Drunks do have a way of holding an audience, though, and so does the shimmery ill-focused oblong screen.

  • I have often asked myself whether, given the choice, I would choose to have manic-depressive illness. If lithium were not available to me, or didn't work for me, the answer would be a simple no... and it would be an answer laced with terror. But lithium does work for me, and therefore I can afford to pose the question. Strangely enough, I think I would choose to have it. It's complicated.

And the more I read the script, the more I hated this guy, so that's how I played him, as a manic-depressive who hates himself. Plus, he's a 108-year old virgin, so there's clearly some issues there
