One of the best ones out there was a guy named Howard Cosell. He was the best.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Bill Stevenson of The Descendants is really good, too.
I think Warner Bros. are probably some of the best people in marketing films in the world.
I like Simon Cowell - look at how many great artists have come out of the U.K. because of him.
I met Robert Crumb in 1962; he lived in Cleveland for a while. I took a look at his stuff. Crumb was doing stuff beyond what other writers and artists were doing. It was a step beyond Mad.
Raymond Chandler I love a lot, and the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard. I really love his voice.
Judd Apatow is pretty good, both as a producer and as a director.
I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad.
Tony Kaye is great with that kind of stuff. Up until American History X, he had only done commercials.
I was always a huge fan of E. E. Cummings. He did a series of lectures at Harvard or Princeton, and they were recorded. And they were incredibly moving.
And one of my favorites was Eddy Arnold of course. He just had that smooth, soulful voice.
