Peace is a fulltime job. It's protecting civilians, overseeing elections, and disarming ex-combatants. Peace, like war, must be waged.

I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association. He deserves whatever anyone says about him.

I get asked a lot about getting into politics. I say, 'Take a look at politics. You tell me what seems appealing about that.'

I don't mind what they say as long as they're not being mean.

Growing up during the Cold War period, I always found that, although we always thought that the world would end in some sort of nuclear holocaust, at some point, everybody was pretty hopeful.

I grew up at a time where I think most people had a social and political conscience. Some of the biggest changes in our country's political history happened at the time I was growing up, so I was raised to be a part of those things and to participate and I will continue to do that as much as I can.

I'm interested in making films that ask questions and don't particularly provide answers.
