I've lived in America for many years. I mean, I love being a Canadian, but I truly identify with America. I love America so much.

I wanted to do a political film that is as nonpartisan as can be, because I wanted to do a story that was American. I wanted to tell an American tragedy.

This is our fault. My fault as much as the next man's, because even if I was against the war, I didn't do enough to stop it.

I miss my mother very, very much.

We think we know what's right. With excessive pride comes blindness.

When I started to allow the characters to go where they wanted to go, I just had to follow.

Unless I'm really uneasy with what I'm writing, I lose interest very quickly.
