Actually, I was talking about this, because someone was noticing my 'Vote Obama '08' T-shirt. I was so struck by my friend Sheryl Crow's statement on 'Larry King' last night. She was asked about Sarah Palin. And she said, 'What concerns me about Sarah Palin is that she doesn't know what she doesn't know.' Courteney is someone who is so willing and so prepared and so amazing as a filmmaker. But she also ready to say, 'Hey! I don't know about that. How are we gonna do that?'

So I really think that's one of the greatest gifts. My appreciation now is how I look at it. Even after producing. I feel I have much greater appreciation than before. I think the other thing is your approach. Actors, I can speak for myself, we feel the material. And all I kept hearing is, 'What's your vision? What's your vision? What's your vision?'
