The interesting thing about movies, it's not always - y'know, you have to have structure etc and all those things, but an audience responds, in many ways, we walk away and certain things stay in our heads that are memorable.

I think it's a promising time which will show a lot of diversification that we've seen in the past.

No one really has the power, and everybody's trying to get through the day, and everybody's nervous and desperate.

All I try to do is create an atmosphere that seems comfortable enough, that it removes tension and everyone feels free. If they feel free then behaviour happens, small moments happen and that's what ultimately works the best for me.

I don't know that you can do it as a satire. I mean, the business is crazy enough as it is. It's like doing Wag The Dog - we took a thing that was almost completely absurd on one level, and then ultimately those things came about.

There's no downside to having too much experience.

I think when Sarah Palin opened her mouth and started talking, the more she talked, the less appealing she became.
