Quote:
"My first thought in trying to develop a film idea is: What would be the wrong thing to do? This approach works well for me. In this film [Lady Fishbourne's Complete Guide to better Table Manners], I take all the rules and the characters do everything wrong. As it happens, this is exactly what audiences want to see. Kids love to see rules broken."
