THE POWER OF MOVIEMAKING

We weren't actually shooting
in the White House.
It's the power of moviemaking.

This was a nightmare scene--
the swimming suit business.
Notice
the
enhancement
of the bust!

It's pretty intimidating
to have an argument with
Michael Keaton.

I've always wanted to take, like,
a salsa dancing class. But, because
we travel so much in our business,
it's hard to say, like, OK,
every Wednesday I'm going to be

here.

But that's a nice problem
to have.

MY FAVORITE SCENE

We're coming to
my favorite scene,
because I get to eat
chocolate cake all day.

You know what I like now?

(It sounds gross, but it's so good)

You put tabasco sauce on popcorn.
You have to wait a second

because

It's like

You have to mix it all up.

...but I also like to put jalapeno peppers
in my tunafish salad.

GIVING YOUR HEART AWAY

First love is so heartbreaking.

That's always a really big thing
in high school. It's always
really so exciting.

When you're young

and you fall in love

for the first time,

it just happens so fast.
You're just giving your heart away.

Like you have
ten hearts.
