I'm sort of fascinated by the whole espionage crime thing.

Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad.

I would love to get great performances from actors as a director, because that's what I'm always looking for, a director that's going to help me go places I've never been before.

I got as much information as I could, so I wouldn't look stupid, but this is a post 9/11 world and there's only so much you can do with the FBI in terms of research.

I think that maybe that's my weakness, in that I don't know how to do it, so I just do what I do and try to do it as passionately and as well as I can.

Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.

If we're talking about masculinity and tenderness, I don't look at Clinton.
