I think my sweet spot is to make personal films on not-too-big budgets and also make other people’s films, bringing productions to Iceland, upping the business here.
When we were bringing ‘Raisin’ onto Broadway, our first stop was at Arena in D.C.

It’s basically taking a 911 call, bringing them on stage and dealing with it just like when I was a Chicago policeman for 12 years. I personally become involved. Where Jerry lets people tell their story and lets everything happen on stage, I kind of go after the bad guy and protect the little guy.

I remember bringing some of my other friends to our table, and everyone at our table would look at them and ask me, ‘What are you doing? Why’d you bring him?’ It was annoying high school stuff that still goes on now. My high school was really bad.

Over its 40 years, Muppets on ‘Sesame Street’ have addressed AIDS, divorce, a parent’s deployment overseas, and a death in the family. But the show is addressing incarceration in a way it didn’t used to: by bringing the show directly to the kids and families it wants to reach.
I was re-watching ‘E.T.’ recently, and that scene where they’re all around the pizza, bringing the pizza in, and gambling and stuff together, it’s such an amazing tone, it’s so rough, and nobody’s really talking about anything, and it feels like you’re in that room with them.
I always start my discussions with the Tea Party groups with telling them, ‘you know I have only three words for you: God. Bless. You.’ Because the Tea Party’s bringing the Republican party back to a more conservative base.
