It's not worth it, it's not about money, especially when you're dealing with a culture. It should be about elevating the idea of what we are and who we are as people in the cinema, and that kind of stuff keeps dragging us back down.

I've become friends with Michael Mann and Oliver Stone; I've seen those guys work and that was great to see.

OCD, we discovered is a lot of different things-it's not just washing your hands, it's whatever you're obsessed with. It can be just the way you hold a pen, and you always have to have it a certain way or you have to eat your food, it depends. It's something that, as a character I thought was really interesting because sometimes it's used in a film where it is OCD and sometimes it's strategic.

I believe in God, absolutely.

One hundred percent, I mean, many of the Sergio Leone movies were with Clint Eastwood, and that's what it is.

What I learned is, don't forget who you are, because that's what's going to make you a filmmaker.

So it's hard to be an artist and be true to the reality of the world you want to create and also make it entertaining and successful financially.
