“That's a big responsibility, and the details obsess me. And, also, I no longer feel I have to do the Tonight Show every time I open my mouth.

Maybe that's why I make so many movies; if you don't like this one, another one's opening on Tuesday. But then I spent six months of my life on 'At Long Last Love,' a picture nobody saw. I enjoyed making it, I learned from it, I grew, but that's too much time out of my life.” IfsFeelsYearsLongShowsBigsLastsPassionLosesActingMistakeResponsibilityTakenSawsToo MuchGrewMonthsSixMouthsYears AgoDirectTwentiesDetailsOpeningEnjoyedTonightSix MonthsTuesdayBig Responsibility Author:Burt Reynolds
