“I think there's a suspicion in the South of people putting on airs. You see it in most successful Southern politicians, but you also see it in someone like Richard Petty, who may be a multimillionaire stock car driver, but he's also beloved because he has a nice self-deprecatory way about him.” PeopleThinkingWayMaySelfSuccessfulNiceAirCarPoliticianSouthBelovedDriversSouthernSuspicionPetty Author:John Shelton Reed

“What I like about Layer Cake is its intelligent through-line. First of all, I think it's very close to the truth; I think this is what successful drug dealers are like. They don't drive around in flashy cars, they don't show off, they behave very quietly, they get on with their job and they earn lots of money. And it goes up and up and up and up the scale. Secondly - and selfishly - I like the moral aspect of the movie, which is that violence has consequences, and you feel emotionally involved with the violence.” ThinkingFeelsFirstsShowsJobsLinesMoralSuccessfulViolenceCarInvolvedDrugConsequenceAspectIntelligentScalesBehaveCakeLayersLots Of MoneyDealerShowing OffDrug DealersFlashyFlashy Cars Author:Daniel Craig
