I see films in theaters, and I enjoy films. I enjoy the art of storytelling, and the different ways to tell them.

I'd love to do historical pictures more, but I don't know if I can.

From '45, the moment Franklin Roosevelt dies, we're running ratlines with the Germans, helping Nazis escape.

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

I didn't like my classmates at Yale. George W.Bush was in my class. I didn't know it then.

I think our life is a series of adventures.

I think you can maintain two tracks. I think you have to. That's what this kind of filmmaking is about. If you're not aware of the limitations of what you're up against... it's like a general: you have to know your artillery and you have to know your infantry. You have to know what you have. You have to marshal your forces and use them well. It comes down to the personal and the intimate, but at the same time you have to have the big picture.
