As a director, I like trying to unlock the subtext of the scene and try to put the camera in a place that helps that.

Donald Trump didn't emerge from the orthodoxy of the Republican Party. And so there's going to be bigger differences than normal.

I would have swapped out Donald Trump's frontal cortex for somebody else's for a little more self-control.

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

It’s worth noting that you can devote your life to community service and be a total schmuck. You can spend your life on Wall Street and be a hero

One of the frustrations about the modern world is that we don't even have a good vocabulary to describe our state. The word sentiment sounds mushy. [...] Sentiment is not mushy.

I think Donald Trump is going to find it very hard to do the kind of massive change he wants.
