The green-light decision process today consists of maybe of 30 or 40 people.

A green-light meeting is when the decision is made finally whether or not to make a given picture.

The green-light meeting, when I first started at Paramount, would consist of maybe three or four of us in a room. Perhaps two or three of us would have read the script under discussion.

My writing process, such as it is, consists of a lot of noodling, procrastinating, dawdling, and avoiding.

One of the things that wrong with pictures today, I think, is that so many of the people making them started out wanting to.

Today is a sad day for Maryland. Fifteen people decided to make a decision for 5 million people by not allowing the vote on the floor and the vote in November.
