*SPOILER*
There’s nothing salacious in this book, unless you count the descriptions of certain scenes in some of my films. I’ve left out most of the intimate details of my private life, lest the book be slapped with an NC17 rating.
The conversations all come from my recollection of them, though they are not written to represent word-for-word transcripts, nor can they claim to be objective truths. Rather, I have retold them in a way that evokes the feeling and meaning of what was said. In all instances, the essence of the dialogue is accurate.
