For better or worse, most of my writing life has been about people that work behind the scenes. I'm interested in finding extraordinary moments in otherwise normal people.

I write on a computer, on a laptop or whatever.

I had an eye-opening experience in Baghdad at the end of 2004 and I thought that the story of these guys who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world would be an interesting way to look at the war in a broader sense.

I think as a filmmaker you try not to have any expectations other than that the film have a fairly substantial beginning, middle and end.

I actually think every war movie is an antiwar movie in its own way - with the exception of some of the propaganda movies.

The fact is that war films, by their very nature, are pitched at a high dramatic range.
