I don't know if you've ever seen some of the Sidney Lumet movies, like Dog Day Afternoon [1975] or Network [1976]. They're real events that happen in real time, and there are all of these different characters experiencing the same thing in different parts of the movie ... I am so bad at explaining my films. But it's in the world of finance and the world of media, and how they connect. It was a big undertaking. A big, mainstream movie, which stars Julia Roberts and George Clooney. But for me, it's really just a small story about character and people.

I love more than anything looking at a movie scene by scene and seeing the intention behind it.

Interestingly, when you do films, sometimes you have conscious reasons, things that you were looking for, or stuff that you were trying to do. And then, you see the film and you think, "Wow, it ended up being something totally different!"

Adolescence is a tough one to be a child actor.

I will always love psychology, and the basis of psychology is family.

So, yes, there's nothing I love more than listening to directors talk about their movies.

I don't need to be Tom Cruise. I just need to work forever.
