I listen to stories and decide if they'll make good movies or not. I get 125 phone calls a day, and if I let that slip to 100, I know I'm not doing my job. Everyone that calls - they want to know one thing. They want me to say yes to them and make their movie. If I say yes to them and make their movie, they think that come New Year's, it's just gonna be them and Jack Nicholson on the slopes of Aspen. That's what they think. The problem is I can only say yes, my studio can only say yes 12 times a year. And collectively we hear about 50,000 stories a year. So it's hard. And I guess sometimes I'm not nice and make enemies. And that's what I was to David. Enemy.
(He then told her why his story wasn't one of the 12 chosen):
It lacked certain elements that we need to market a film successfully...Suspense, laughter, violence, hope, heart, nudity, s**, happy endings. Mainly happy endings.
