Great stuff in this interview. Thanks, Scott.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Axelrod late in his life. He was very funny, hilariously self-deprecating. I don't think I've ever been as thrilled to meet anyone in Hollywood. I read that interview years ago and I've always loved his axioms: "Thou Shalt Not Bore, and Anything Is Permitted—narration, anything you want to do, whatever gets the story across." Amen.
