I want to try to make big films that hopefully connect with people.

Politics is based on social identity, and so, again, there is going to be differences between rural and urban and between left and right.

If we are going to stop wars on this earth, we are going to have to make war on hunger our number one priority.

The corruption will come back to haunt the Trump administration. But mostly, it'll come back to haunt the American economy, as companies decide they can make money by rent-seeking, by getting money from government rather than earning it the old-fashioned way.

I'm not sure [Donald] Trump has had that distinction between private and public life in his head. And so, I think there's likely to be an erosion of just that standard, that different standard, consciousness, and I think it's likely we'll see what we haven't seen in the last eight years and even the last 12 or 16 of private enrichment in office and scandals where people have to resign and things like that, because just once the standards go, behavior tends to go.

Our emotions tell us what to value. They're like a little GPS system: Go that way. Don't go that way.

Maybe you're willing to tolerate a lot of bigotry from Donald Trump if you say, just change things, just change things.
