I'm terrible at horror movies, by the way. I get scared so easily.

I think you should do rehearsal and work at it, but when the camera rolls, you should be ready. Try to make it good the first time.

What needs to happen is more of a global understanding, and I believe the United States can work as a global partner and not be the hegemon.

I am not trying to be a historian and a dramatist; I'm a dramatist, a dramatic historian, or one who does a dramatic interpretation of history.

I think there is a whole older generation that will go to movies still. People like me; people over 45.

When you look at a movie, you look at a director's thought process.

I'm interested, I suppose, in tortured power.
