So friends and family keep you sane. One thing that's nice is this film has tested great. My friends unabashedly tell me that they like it. They don't say it in that way, 'I liked it. Some of the movies I've done have turned out to be kind of shitty.
Reviewers are always quick to point that out.
As a writer, you're really hammered. Screenwriters take the worst of it. Brian de Palma says that's why we pay you so well. You're the flak man. You've got to get out front and take some of this shit.
