liza — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 09:22:46 -0500

"I feel bad for Warners. I don't like losing money for anybody.

"More importantly, the person coming in behind me to pitch something that's off the beaten track - well, sorry, but that's just not going to happen. We've shut the door on that for a while.

— Steven Soderbergh, Director & Producer
