    Character Evaluation

    Jeff Daniels likes to work with young films and actors that emphasize word-of-mouth and individuality. He has never ambitions to be the male number one. He is always playing different ordinary people, flashing low-key and high-speed in various independent or small and medium-sized movies full of personality. . Jeff Daniels's style is always low-key and deep, with a bit of Woody Allen's character temperament: ordinary, next door, interesting intellectual, a little bit arrogant and a little arrogant, but it does not lose the kindness and self-deprecation of ordinary people   .

    The Answer Man quotes

    • Arlen Faber: I love kids. They're short, highly emotional people who don't know anything. They rely on their creativity and imagination to get by in the world. A world, I might add, filled with giants. Amazing feat.

    • Elizabeth: Now I only have three rules: don't take advice from someone you wouldn't trade places with, try not to do something you can't take back, and something is what it is and it's not something else.

      Arlen Faber: I forget my rule, but I think it has something to do with Square Dancing.
