These forums are insulting and laughable, given that we're dealing with an administration hellbent on placing these terminals wherever the industry sees fit.

When you're dealing with someone like Shirley, it's a little insulting to ask her to come in for a meeting. But I wanted to meet her first and talk to her about the character, because there was a very big 'if' on it for me. Shirley is such a powerful presence, personality and talent, and she has used that power effectively over a long and rich career. But I wanted to know she would be able to put a damper on all of that and go to a very quiet place to play this character who is literally hiding from life, who has put a lid on everything because of her guilt, her fear and her unresolved issues. If Shirley could go to that kind of a place, and then blossom as her character's life broadens, I thought it would be very exciting.

The comments I have heard range from incomplete to insulting,

[A]s you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

[An investigation] is little short of laughable given the sort of return on capital we are both getting. Neither of us is covering our costs of capital.

I went from wanting to lick his dimples to wanting to get the hell away from him.
