I guess a great movie would be one that has the most great moments in it.

I like the inspiration of the first take.

There was a stool there, and some fella kept asking me if I wanted to sit down. When I saw the stool sitting there, it gave me the idea. I'll just put the stool out there and I'll talk to Mr Obama and ask him why he didn't keep all of the promises he made to everybody.

To me cinema can be a much more friendly world if there's a lot of things to choose from.

Being comfortable is over-rated.
