I spent many years working on the script to write about Ronald Reagan. But I got some great advice from Clint Eastwood and it was remarkably similar to the president's own views.

Clint Eastwood told me the secret of his success on the set of 'Space Cowboys' in 1999. It was my first studio movie, and he was gracious enough to let me hang around and watch him produce the script I’d co-written for him. For a newbie Hollywood writer, it was a life-changing experience, and every chance I got, I would ask the master filmmaker a question like this. 'Easy,' he shrugged, in typical Eastwoodian fashion.

' In the middle of that night, Reagan opened his eyes to see his political nemesis, Democrat Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill, watching over. No sides now. Just two friends. Who prayed and read the 23rd Psalm together. Six weeks later, when the congressional sergeant at arms shouted, 'Mister Speaker, the President of the United States!', both sides — both sides! — of the aisle leapt to their feet. They cheered, laughed and cried for ten minutes as he stood with them again.
