You have to be willing to expose yourself, at least to yourself, to get to some kind of truth about a character.

I've always wanted to work with Paul Newman. I had a couple opportunities in the past, and I didn't take advantage of it, so it was really fun to be working with him

I feel like my place in this industry is still progressing.

I am not one of these guys who works job after job after job.

I listen to National Public Radio, which, to me at least, presents the most rounded view of things.

I think most people that are looked upon as doing something daring don't necessarily think of it that way-they do what they have to do.

When I decided to direct, never having done that before, is something I'm very proud of
