On his work with A Minor Consideration: "People on the `outside,` people who have not lived the life...`civilians` as we call them...are not equipped to deal with the masterful deceptions of former kid stars. For God`s sake, when you don`t know what to do with a former child star, call on the only group of people who DO know. We never say, `I told you so.` We never seek retribution.

I saw Vera Drake and Mike Leigh is a masterful filmmaker. I think it`s indisputable. He works with actors like no one else. It`s beautifully shot and beautifully played. And yet at the same time, I just want to scream! I say, would it have been a sin for her to take money for a job well done? Does she have to be sanctified?

But it`s clearly not an examination of the ethical nature and so forth, it`s just a given that this is the good fight and we are martyrs for this cause. There`s another movie, a lovely film, wonderfully directed, Maria Full of Grace. There`s a scene in the movie where you have this 17-year-old pregnant girl in Queens and she sees Women`s Health Services, and she goes there. What`s the purpose of the scene? All it does is tell us that the baby is okay. I just want to scream! She stays in American, 17, pregnant, no money, no friends, doesn`t speak the language. I mean, really, the only thing she`s equipped to do is be a prostitute. To me, it`s just the falseness of that stay-on-in-America, land-of-hope and so forth, the falseness just makes me want to scream. It`s faux-liberal, in fact. I guess it`s just being patted on the back, being told, `You`re doing the right thing.` There`s no questioning. There`s no examination. There`s no stopping to think.
