That's probably my favorite moment in the film, ... I watched it, obviously, when they shot it. It was moving, then, but there's something about the way it was captured on film and the way it plays out -- it is powerful.

There are so many characters in this film,

I wish I'd done 'Dumb and Dumber.' I was offered the part, but I don't think I'd have been better than Jeff Daniels was. Another film I wish I'd done was 'Jerry Maguire.'

Even though there's an entertainment value to the film, I think it's very important because you can't really separate the impact of that political message from it. It's rare that you get films like that I think; that really have an important message and are also entertaining.
