Bits Quote by Kelly McEvers
“The way the housing market imploded is obviously not an easy thing to explain. It's a little bit easier in a book - people can take their time, you can sort of go back and reread - but in a movie you've got two hours to not only explain things like collateralized debt obligations, but you also have to make it entertaining.”
