There are very few guys like me. I make a lot of money. I didn't always.

What happens when these young men and women come home so scarred and so wounded? We are ignoring that fact. We're just shoving them under the carpet.

We never did just one take. Multiple takes. Many. I did a bunch. Sometimes I do one take. Sometimes I did 20.

You don't do pictures because the audience is ready for them. You do them because there's something gnawing at you, something inside.

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.

Every 10 years, I know less about love and relationships. The smarter I get, the less I know.

I really wanted to make a nonpolitical political film. I wanted something that folks in red states and blue states could look at and not ask if this is the right thing to do to be in this war, but what this war is doing to the fabric of our society.
