John Wayne was just a very conservative guy, who had not served in World War II, and he was defensive about that - he almost overcompensated his anti-Communism because of that reason.

I've recently enjoyed the Paul Thomas Anderson commentaries and the David Fincher commentaries.

John Wayne was never shy about that fervor, but because he was never overly zealous about his politics, and of course his status as a movie, he was embraced by both the right and the left.

I'm developing some other things in other genres, including one dramatic piece. So, anything's possible.

Even modern wars are fought like revenge tales from some petty grievance.

The success of the second 'Austin Powers' caught us by surprise a little bit. We had decided not to do even a second one, unless the audience wanted it and we could do something better.

I just always look for stuff that has a character-driven thing.
