Curtis Hanson came down, and it offered me a role in that. And I loved that movie. I think it's a great movie. And... I said no. Now, mind you, at that time, people were asking me what I wanted to do.

And it's coming and I'm supposed to be, and I'm getting asked, well, which one of the great stuff do you want to do? I'm like, I write about this a lot in the book.
