Allen provides a constant stream of outrageous replies to Ed Hart's questions and when asked if he represents the "new type of leading man in Hollywood," he responds: "Yes, I think I have what they call the new sex appeal." Allen goes on to explain his style of writing: "That's part of my technique, to keep it incoherent. And try and cash in on the apperance of meaningfulness."
