I made career decisions that came from the part of me who wanted to shun the limelight.

I chose films made by people I wanted to work with, about subject matter I thought was intriguing.

When Bush first got elected, the very first time there was talk of going to war with Iraq, the mainstream media gave his position total credibility. I didn't get it then, and I don't get it now

It's hard to see a film that's been made from a book that you really loved because it's such a different experience

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

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

A lot of films come out before they're finished.
