I guess George Clooney would be a wonderful silent actor, and Leonardo DiCaprio is such a wonderful actor he certainly could do it.

I make almost all the decisions on set and have to deal with all the financial aspects.

Finally, you're right about one point, your entire way of thinking is predicted by what you're immersed in so you know you won't make a bad decision. You can make a bad decision but it's still in the good sphere normally if you work well. You're prepared to face a crew who wants to know everything and poses a hundred questions a minute, because you know you have good reflexes and can respond very quickly.

Hollywood is much more than America. Hollywood belongs to all of the planet.

I think the writer is always the creator, because he's starting with nothing, but the actor comes in and gives flesh and blood.
