I wanted to do a war movie, a western and an alien movie. In reality, there are a lot of ugly things happening in the world.

I mean, the problem is, I think I'm a great writer.

I like doing movies with kids in them, and you're explaining things. They're teaching you and you're teaching them, and the audience can loop through that.

Well, I've thought many times when my career was in the toilet, that I was going to have to seriously consider getting another job, I don't know what I'd do.

I think they are very important because westerns have a code and a symbolism.

The day you stop caring what other people think of you is the day your life begins.

Chris [Nolan] comes at this with such a different take on Batman, so I didn't feel that I had to be true to any other actor playing this role. Of course, I read the comic books. His relationships with Lt. Gordon and with Batman, with Gotham City, those really helped me the most.
