Kevin Smith receives some long-overdue thanks from the pair of Oscar-winning screenwriters.

I know that I’m not talented enough to have done all this. I lucked into a lot of things, but at the same time, the most important aspect is I moved toward it. It’ll never move toward you. No dream ever comes looking for you.

Early on, I realized I see this differently from everybody else in the actual business. I was always trying to find ways to diversify or be interesting or change things up, and keep things cheaper, really. So we started touring the movies.

I was just a movie kid. That’s what I loved to do. And that’s something that I shared with my father.
