Warren [Beatty] loves to talk about his experiences with [Elia] Kazan.

Warren [Beatty] did a very cool thing, where he directs in character.

I'm glad to be an actor to be employed by people who are now 12, probably. I look forward to that.

When I worked with anybody like Woody Allen, there's the name, and your understanding of who they are before you meet them, that stays in your head a little bit.

That's something that Francis [Ford Coppola] would always say. I remember when I was doing Tetro, he said, "Stay innocent. I'm 69 years old, and I'm still innocent."

[Warren's Beatty] first film being with this very important director [Elia Kazan], I think we related on that in a big way. And I just was genuinely curious about his experiences in film, and about the people he knew.

Elia Kazan - the films he made were such a big deal for me when I was growing up.
