George Clooney's 'Ides of March' could be the most under-appreciated movie of the year. In 20 years they're gonna go back and say, 'Oh, that was American politics in that time period.' I follow politics, I love it, and that movie is so authentic.

I'm probably the only person who goes to work and says 'Wow, it's really nice here and sweet,' even in the competitive movie business.

I've been involved with violent movies, and then I've also said at a certain point, 'I can't take it anymore. Please cut it.' You know, you've got to respect the filmmaker, and it's a really tough issue.

I think audiences can deal with these mature themes.

People love a true story and especially a true story where two people from opposite worlds come together.

The secret of making movies is having the strongest possible script.

Audiences want to see intelligent movies.
