And we do like more than ever to see people fail, I think.
I mean, there was a time when we rooted for people.
I think there's also too much exposure now.
I think, for instance—
um, when we were growing up, especially in my era, uh, if we were going to see Jimmy Stewart, we were only going to see him in the movie and it was on film and it had literally a film over it that made it look like you were watching something magical.
Now you got digital where you can see every fucking mole on your face and shit, you know, and, uh,
And everything is a behind the scenes.
Oh, and, you know, the studio's doing this and now this group wants to come over and they're going to do a whole thing and they want to see you on the set.
And so but if I see Mel Gibson sitting in a director's chair dressed up like he was in Braveheart talking about the movie.
It's like it takes away something from that.
It's like we've had too much of a peek behind the curtain, I believe.
And I think we're too exposed.
There's too much access to people.
When I was growing up in this business, I wouldn't have dared.
If I'd seen Bob Dylan or Jack Lemmon or whoever it was on the sidewalk, I wouldn't walk up to him.
to say Jack Lemmon, punch him in the shoulder and say, hey, dude, let's get a picture.
I mean, in a million years, I wouldn't have done that.
There's a respect.
These are my elders.
They're my heroes.
