Jerry Rice had won two Super Bowls already by the time he got to his ninth year in the league. That's what it's all about: winning that ring.
The impact of the downturn is starting to feel very real. House prices and the housing market have been taking the knock for some time and that's affecting people.
I've been doing interviews for years, and in all that time, I've virtually never read one and gone, 'Yep, factually and tonally that's exactly what happened.' Pretty much never.
Doors open to you every time you get a different role. So, yeah, the research is my passion; that's why I keep doing it.
I write all the time. I do artwork that's part of a diary, and I write short stories to go with them pretty much every day.
Apparently, there's a little red demon dwarf that haunts the city, and before every major bad thing that's happened, it's appeared to somebody. Last time, he appeared in a Cadillac.

This is the time that I really miss being in my courtroom because I believe that that's the last place in this country where there's supposed to be fairness.
That's one thing I never had to do on a Mike Bay set is sit around and pontificate about the next scene; there's no time for it. You're already in the next scene.
