I am deeply honored to be making 'Life Itself,' a documentary on the life of Roger Ebert, and to have had the full cooperation and enthusiasm of Roger and his wife, Chaz.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For millions, Roger Ebert will be remembered as a writer and television personality who brought a sense of passion and excellence to his craft. For me, he is a man who fused joy and courage as few others ever have. My life was enriched by having such a friend; it is poorer for losing such a friend.
I think my life is a movie and your life reflects your work.
We are all the writer-director-star-producer of our own life. We see life through our own eyes.
We know Roger Ebert loved the 'Sun-Times' and his career as a newspaper columnist. But ironically, it was his illness and losing his voice that caused him to explore another venue.
I met Roger Ebert at an independent-film awards or something. And he said, 'When I saw you just now, I wanted to punch you in the face. And then I had to remember you're an actor. So, congratulations!' Those are my accolades.
I'm also doing a special for Comedy Central called Autobiography. It's going to be a spoof of Biography.
In the moment of making films, I want to share my observations of life, not of other films.
I see myself as writing biographies, the complete story of someone's life.
I love the work that goes into making a movie and creating a different world. It is a wholesome experience.
I think that film combines almost every element that makes human life worth living.
