We went from 2000 seat theaters to arenas and couldn't meet the demand. So I thought, OK, there's a hunger for this kind of storytelling. So let me move into television. Got it. It was just a bigger arena. It was a bigger arena and I didn't have to be everywhere at once. I could be on a screen in 2000 locations.

I don't like metal music. Metal is not my thing. I can't relate to it, but I don't criticize it and I don't judge it because it's not for me. It's not directed to me. It's not something that I can say, I like this music. So this music's crap. No, that's just not for me. And it's the same way when I think about the work that I do. It is specific in nature and it speaks to a specific audience.

They saw the exact same thing. I read both reviews. It's the last time I read reviews.

Completely true. Also to layer that is the understanding of what it's taken for me to be able to be in this business and to have this many hits and this much success. and have to fight tooth and nail to get a budget that's anywhere near a Sandler movie. Despite all the success. Despite all of it.
