One person doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility for why a film does or doesn't do well.

The truth is, I just want do things that are original and throw an original spin on them.

I think one of the first things to go as people's lives start to go down is their dreams. Dreams should be the last thing to go - dreams are the things you go down with. If you're left clinging to a piece of driftwood in the middle of the ocean, I'd put on it the word dreams.

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.

Broken people say awful things and do incredibly absurd things.

Some people come to you because if you're in their movie, it'll help them raise money. And some people come to you because they think you're the person to play the part.

You're just as good, and if you work harder, you can be better and you can be more than you think you can.
