What I love about writing is the contradictions we all embody as human beings.

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.

It turns out that good actors can make anything believable.

We all have these tendencies in us that could go this way or that. I think that's the real key in writing. To look at a character without judgment.

United States could be a great country. It needs to be a great country. It's our responsibility as citizens to make that happen, every single one of us.

We crash into each other just so we can feel something.
