Scott Turow on Presumed Innocent screen rights: "He told me the sum of money, which was more than I had made in all eight years that I had been an assistant U.S. Attorney. And I said to him, and by the way, more than I was being paid for the novel, and I said, 'what do I do?' He says, 'turn it down. There'll be more.' And he was right. He was right...And I have to say, that moment where I turned it down was just. I had just this wonderful feeling of freedom.
