There's a few people who I've accumulated over the years who I really trust to show a first cut to and to be helpful rather than unhelpful.

When you're a man, you're often in situations where you have to decide how far you're going to go in an argument. How big is the other guy? All this stuff that girls don't have to worry about as much, because that's not part of the equation.

I actually think storyboards are great. I don't draw well enough to do them myself. I've only used storyboards a couple of times.

The world is really heading in a very dangerous direction, it becomes that much more valuable and important to go to the movies and see human beings that are human beings.

Little kids grow up discovering the world that's shown to them and then when you become a teenager, it kind of shrinks a little bit. I think when you get past that point, one of the important things is that you see there is more to the world than yourself.

Some actors really like to do only a few, some like Casey [Affleck] will do as many takes as there is electrical power. At some point, you'll say, "Listen, I think it's really good." And he'll say, "You sure? You sure? There's not some other way we should try it?"

I've reached a new level of closeness with a new friend when I can make a joke at their expense. That's one of the great joys of life for me.
