What's better these days, television or film? It's a dead heat. In fact, one could argue for television with more regularity.

When you're a kid going on being an adult, everything radiates so deeply and resonates so passionately, and I like the opportunity to tell those stories.

Actors can become very involved in a role, but for a director or producer, that's your life for many years.

It's really fun to create something that touches the world.

Sometimes you do things for personal reasons. I made a very personal movie in We Are Marshall. I was afraid of flying, for a long time, and that's a movie about a plane crash.

I think I wanted to be a storyteller because I had a very active dream life. My life was boring, and I dreamed about a life bigger than my own. I've always just been that person, from my earliest memories at age 2.

I don't really think about film or television or going directly to the internet. I just think about doing something that people are going to get excited about.
