Now, we live in an age where we have so much information that we do tend to overload. The Greeks did too, though.

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.

I believe in intermissions. I lived through this experience with JFK and Nixon. JFK should have had an intermission. It should have come right after the Donald Sutherland scene, because then there's just too much information flooding in. You need a break. Same on Nixon. It was a long film, but I couldn't help it, with that kind of subject.

People are still living in the moment, and they feel the passion of now.

Well, George W.Bush wanted to privatize Social Security. It's an ideological thing.

We have enormous challenges in front of us.
