I think people should start to practice the words 'President Romney.'
I don't want people leaving the theater depressed after my movies. I want them angry.
I've been encouraging documentary filmmakers to use more and more humor, and they're loath to do that because they think if it's a documentary it has to be deadly serious - it has to be like medicine that you're supposed to take.
