Listen, I like great actors. You can be a movie star without being a great actor - this has been proved several times - and I like my casts to have great actors. Acting is more important to me than being a star.

You're looking for the best way of shooting it, but sometimes the best way of shooting it is changing the script.

It's easy to make a pirate copy when you have digital tapes of things. And it was so complicated and complex to go through all the post-production of a movie without ever going digital.

Well, I'm not that popular with the politicians, I have to say.

I come from a documentary background and my natural tendency, as a filmmaker, is to make a movie, if I have something to talk about. If it's not about anything that matters, I don't feel like doing it. I'm not against people who make movies just for fun, but I'm not one of those guys. I just want to provoke thinking and debating about certain issues.

I like some superhero movies, but I have to say that they all feel the same to me. I've seen them a million times. They're all the same movie.

Either you look back and deal with your hypocrisy, or you dismiss it.
