I still look at the poster and can't believe I directed this movie.

I don't think people can be mad at Nick or hold anything against him, because he almost makes fun of himself, ... He knows how other people feel about him. So he disarms them. He will not allow them to get into his head because he already knows their position on him.

Very early on, I decided I didn't want smoking in the movie. It's not really a movie about smoking, but about lobbying. Tobacco is just the setting. It's not that I believe in the idea that movies should be responsible and not show smoking. But I think if the characters had been smoking, it would have seemed a pro-smoking movie, whereas it's about lobbying and spin and talk.

A lot of movies at this festival were struggling to find distributors, ... This film was fortunate enough to find more than its share.

Evolution ... Just the right formula of science and comedy may get moviegoers through the door.
