: Taken from an email Lee sent me just today. Words from the man, the legend, himself...
: "I understand. I really do. I understand how a company like Miramax works, and quite
: frankly I don't feel like fighting them for a project that I probably don't feel as passionate
: about now as I did 2 years ago. Of course that's no offense to you, it's just that I don't feel
: as interested in doing comedies lately. Would Fletch be a typical comedy? No. Are you a
: typical comedy director? No, of course not. But still, it seems to be how I feel. It also has a
: lot to do with the fact that I've started Stereo Skateboards again, am having a son, am
: planning on finally directing (my script) next year, and have grown pretty fond of smaller
: movies. New experiences, different experiences. Trying to expand, yet simplify at the same
: time. Prioritize my creativity, you know? This very small movie that I'm working on right now
: with Daniel Day-Lewis has really brought me back to "the Chasing Amy time in my life" and
: has helped restore a lot of my drive and enthusiasm for acting. Not sure if any of this makes
: much sense to you, but something tells me it does."
