It turns out that it's easier to do politics in a movie. People really don't want it in their TV.
I go into a movie sort of saying what it's not going to be.
Nothing I've done is like anything else I've done before.
I make movies for me and posterity. I'm more scared of history than I am of the studio.
I'm a character-driven director, and I tend to fall in love with the characters in my movies and TV shows.
There are actors who just bring an enormous amount of empathy. They just have that"it" that makes you want to follow them and root for them.
