Fear - there's always fear. You re-create yourself in every movie, don't you?

I read comic books and stuff but I didn't know a lot about it.

The last really expensive trip we took was so uncomfortable. It's so lazy. I want somebody to give me a great $30 massage as opposed to a bad $265 massage.

'W.' is not necessarily a political film, but it was sort of a contrasting reality for me to get into George W. Bush as a character because of how I felt about his administration before I started making the film.

Folks can believe what they like but eventually a man's got to declare if he's going to do what is right.

At least George W. Bush feels like - and I've heard him say it - "You can't judge me now, because look at Abraham Lincoln. When he was in the middle of that war and 600,000 people died, he was vilified for the Gettysburg Address because they felt it was too short and almost insulting, and now you look back and it's considered one of the great speeches of all time and he's considered one of the great presidents of all time."

Anything that is absurd I see as a Coen brothers' influence! The Coen brothers are my favorite people period.
