I like roundtables because you can talk more directly to people. And you also can get kind of a vibe on what a journalist's take is on something, and have a conversation with them more.

I try to cast really good actors and give them a chance to do their very best work, give them as much time and space as they need.

I like the incongruity of how in Iran, these people we think of as being revolutionaries or fanatics or whatever are just as aware of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader as our people are back home.

I think we all like to see ourselves as good dads, but there's also that fear, 'Oh, I don't want to be like my father,' or, 'I hope my kid doesn't turn out like me.' You know, I have those feelings too. So the key is optimism.

(I) try new things and give myself permission to fail and experiment because only that way can you get really successful.

They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby!

Rumors about me? Calista Flockhart, Pam Anderson, and Matt Damon. That's who I'm dating.
