I've written films that are violent. I'm not big on sitting and watching violence.

We all hope that the police and prosecutors are objective. That's their job, but sometimes it's not true.

We see films all the time, whether they have access to all kinds of intellectual property or artifacts, and the one thing that they don't get is story. So I think whether you're talking about a biopic or an action film or a science-fiction film that has all the CGI in the world, if you're not trying to connect with an audience, it doesn't really matter.

My kids will find me walking around the house talking to myself and think I'm going crazy. I like to read the scripts out loud and really get the rhythm for the dialogue.

With fear of stating the obvious: Freedom belongs to 'We the People,' not 'They the Politicians.'

I want to explore different topics and present them in slightly different ways.

I understand politicos gotta make bank. But cloistering with the Hollywood elite is not how you prove you're a man of the people.
