James Cameron

I'm kidding.

No, no, no.

The kids don't make lame comments, but they do comment during the movie, and I'll pause it, and I'm like, yes, you were saying.

We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.

I think they see that there was a moment in time 10 years ago where who I believed they were influenced the creation of a character.

But I think for them it's all a big laugh because they say two things.

One is, that was 10 years ago.

And two, even then, you didn't really know who I was.

It felt that way.

And it felt like...

There was going into my first directing gig that I did get fired off of after, I think, six or seven days of shooting.

And not for incompetence, it turns out.

It turns out that I was being set up the whole time.

And when I found that out later, it sort of put it in perspective.

But I believed at the time, I internalized that I was not doing it well.

And I thought, oh, crap.

Now I'm worse off than if I hadn't taken the job in the first place.

Now I'm at negative 10.

I could have just been at zero.

Now I have to dig out of a hole to get to zero.
