I liked it because it was such a dangerous script and showed just what human beings are capable of. Here was a movie in which Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, who always win in every movie they ever do, simply don't win. I felt that was outrageous for a commercial movie.

I think that acting is a very humanizing profession.

No one should ever feel sorry for me. Ive been treated very well for the most part.

To look in the eyes of audiences and see the kind of naughty glee that they got with being on the inside, the audience becomes your co-conspirators.

I have done films where we all thought the director didn't know what he was doing and it is going to be a gobble gobble turkey. And you go and watch it and it is great.

Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get.

It's the kind of democratization of the Internet that has led to the breaking down of barriers into the creative arts.
