The kind of people that love ‘The Rocketeer’ are the kind of people that love good storytelling and innocence and a better world, so to speak, so they’re almost always nice people to bump into.

I don’t have time to overthink things, and I don’t have time to get bogged down in stuff. I’m not sitting there thinking for a week and a half, before I’m supposed to go in front of a network president to do something. That just gives you time to be nervous.
