There's one painting that historically would have been better, ... because it was painted at the beginning of the Impressionist movement, and the one we're using is painted later. In the script they say, 'This is a very important painting because it was painted at start of the Impressionists,' and that's not really true. It was painted a few years later. But they selected the painting for purely visual reasons -- that they would capture better on camera, that it was more appealing, that it would catch the eye better.

There are some elements that are tonal and some are not. But nothing so far out you can't grasp it. It's appealing music.Christopher Moore
Fan mail typically goes through your publisher and you don't get it for a long time. So you look like a jerk even if you answer them because it's been three or four months since they wrote you. With e-mail it's instantaneous. And it's a way that people have access to me, while I maintain my privacy.

Our artists are very good technicians. They have sensibility and artistic balance. But quite often they lack in creation. I have one artist here in my studio in New York. She's a good painter, but she has problems of creating her own stuff, of inventing. She can copy from a postcard, but when she has to do other things she has a tough time. She knows it. Not everybody can do great things.
Christopher Moore
The value of the work we do is the value we give to it.

In the movie, the painting is supposed to be worth 100 million. No painting is worth 100 million. But for the movie, 100 million is a number that any person can understand as expensive. If you say 50 million nowadays, it's not enough.
