On Friday afternoon, before the film debuted in theaters, I was walking along the Santa Monica promenade to go get the tuna sandwiches that I like, there must have been at least 400 people around me 396 were minding their own business, 4 were staring at me: some girl who thought I was cute and some who appreciated my shoes. Not only that, in that period there must have been a hundred screenplays for which I had proposed, I would have done them all of them, except that 99 nos and one yes arrived”. And in fact Matthew McConaughey had auditioned for a sensational role but was not taken.
