Clint Eastwood just runs an incredibly tight ship, but it's really laid back.

Some people just see the glory and they don't want to know about the story.

For a lot of actors, our biggest fear is that we're going to start talking about things we don't fully understand and sound like idiots.

You know, a one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of the country, much better.

Now that I have kids, I'm probably more overprotective than I've ever been. My wife's nickname for me is "red alert." I sometimes check just to see if the kids are breathing. But I try not to be a helicopter parent.

It's intuitive in terms of when I read a piece of material or I hear about a project. I'm a writer, so I've written movies. I've read at this point thousands and thousands and thousands of screenplays. So if something gets me, then I don't ignore that.

Clint Eastwood enables and allows things to happen. You walk on some sets and it's like walking into an emergency room. It's like, "Come on guys, we're just making a movie here." That tension runs into the performances and into the movie.
