Between Clive Owen winning at the Golden Globes and the British Academy announcing its nominations, of which Sideways received only one, I'm feeling pretty humbled these days.

I did a series called Ned and Stacey for two years for Fox back in the 90s. I was writer on it as well as a producer, and it was very important to me that there were no contemporary references.

To some extent I could identify with that because I kind of just made my money and got out.

I enjoy doing press for something that I like, and I think the movie is very fun and charming and clever.
