When I got the invitation to be part of 'The Ghost' or 'The Ghost Writer,' as it's now known, from Mr. Roman Polanski, my interest level was very piqued. I was very excited and pleased to get such an offer from Mr. Roman Polanski.
D'Angelo could sing the phonebook and it would sound good.

I wouldn't trust Nixon from here to that phone.
