Conventional wisdom is so scary because what if everybody's wrong?

When I read Thirteen Days I was moved by it. It was just a great time for the world, in terms of looking back in history and seeing how we got ourselves into trouble and how we got ourselves out of trouble.

Great stories don't often make great movies. Its' a crafted art form.

Conventional wisdom can get us into so much trouble, especially as artists.

We recognize ourselves in Westerns, ... I believe the Western can orchestrate moments around reality. The reality can be as entertaining to us as the lie.

Here's the thing - the accent is cool. It's like a girl with big breasts - they get your attention first.

True movies will never be measured by how much they make - they'll be measured by how they make you feel.
