This 'best of' barely scratches the surface of the interviews he did so I encourage you to go check them all out on YouTube. Hollywood the imagined place - LaLawood the reality, There's a reason why this movie was barely released. His impersonation of David Lynch was so good that it was a full twenty seconds before I realized it wasn't actually him.
