Many of my friends and family are scratching it out somewhere decidedly south of the ever widening gap between the haves and have nots, looking at losing their homes, colleges they can't afford and healthcare they can't avail themselves of.

But most scripts are terrible. Most projects are bad, that's just kind of the way it is. And I'm not really attracted to those.

I think that it's much more important to do than to say. And you learn that a lot from your kids, who are watching you, you know?

I was brought into the curiosity of it because with Sony Pictures Classics, which bought the movie, they look into what the feedback is and base that off of how they release it, and you end up hearing the feedback and getting that early talk. So the reviews early on that were "bad reviews," they were kind of reviewing another movie.

I was about to write that in the future I would chose my words more carefully but I'm sure I won't.

I want to be a part of great things.

Speak up when you're supposed to, as opposed to trying to write prescriptions for the way people should live.
