A New York Times excerpt from 1986 that reads: Nicholson complains about ''conglomeration'' narrowing the studio's vision. ''Do you feel like a creative person trapped in an uncreative age in the industry?'' ''Well, you know, last night I saw - what's that movie -'Ferris' something," Nicholson answers. '''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'?'' the interviewer asks. ''Well, that movie made me feel totally irrelevant to anything that any audience could want, and 119 years old," Nicholson answers. He sighs deeply and continues: ''Believe me, everyone else watching it liked it. And you know, I literally walked out of there thinking my days are numbered. These people are trying to kill me.''
