*"Sometimes it's just a really poorly phrased question because they don't say, "Hey, I have no idea what goes into this but . . . " But some of them really seem to think I sit there with no idea that movies are adapted from books, and I can just pick up the phone and make it happen."*
I would take it as a complement Ray. What I think they really mean is "Your books are so great I don't understand why there isn't a movie about them." and since it must be SO obvious to the producers that your books should be movies it must be you who has decided not to allow it. Pitty (in general) film producers don't see the world that way.
