Venezuela is a democratically elected government. These people who keep protesting are sore losers.

We have enormous challenges in front of us.

My home in Hollywood is not a home. I do a film here, a film there, as they want it. I don't have a relationship. Like, Warner Bros. has a great relationship with Clint Eastwood and takes care of him.

One of the joys of going to the movies was that it was trashy, and we should never lose that.

I think any filmmaker will tell you when they wandered from theater to theater to watch their prints, it was disheartening to see the poor levels of light and the disrespect for films that existed in certain theater chains. It was always inconsistent. And in the lab, too, the photochemical process was very difficult to watch, because sometimes they were shipping prints that you didn't even know were two points off or three points off. We suffered greatly to make these films, and they'd be out-of-focus, with the sound too low.

I study history in order to give an interpretation.

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.
