“I was making a round of the channels late at night when I was bachelor, and I thought, 'Oh, one more time around the channels before I go to bed.' It was 2 in the morning when I stumbled across the opening of that film, which just completely hooks you immediately, and I ended up staying up till 4 to watch it, because I got so involved in it.”
