Of course, actors look forward to the day when they can do a big courtroom scene.

I don't think there's any connection between my journalism career and my film career. They are two totally different mediums and very different skills.

Cher's great, she's incredible. She is an enormous, enormous star, who goes anywhere and crowds follow her...and yet she's a disciplined actress and she's down to Earth and cool. I can't say enough good things about her.

My family moved - first to Washington, D.C., and then, in the spring of 1975, to Lebanon, where my father worked as a diplomat at the American embassy. My parents were enthusiastic about the move, so my older brother and I felt like we were off to some place kind of cool.

Part of filmmaking is always a guessing game, and part of it is always a game of trust.

I like complicated characters.
