I prefer film to TV because of the amount of time film affords you that TV doesn't (though theater is probably my favorite and the scariest place of all).

If you look up and no one who's around you has been around you for the past 20 years, and they're all new people, I think that's a problem.

One truth that I know for sure, for me anyway, is that the more you know, the more you realize that you don't know.

People have always been obsessed by celebrities. There are just more outlets and opportunities to make a living exploiting that obsession nowadays.

Now is a good time, 10 years ago would have been a good time, and 10 years from now it will still be a good time to see a dynamic, entertaining movie that's wall-to-wall Miles Davis where the music will hopefully spark some desire to know more about the man.

I started following the news and seeing what was happening around the world with the polar ice caps melting and temperatures breaking records. I became concerned as an animal on this planet but also as a father.

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.
