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

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.

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.

For weeks after 9/11 you could smell the dust and pulverised concrete in New York, and the National Guard came in, so there was a military presence on the streets. It was intense. Overwhelming. Heartbreaking.

So to be standing here, this was really, truly, honestly never part of anything we even imagined in our wildest dreams.

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