It turns out that good actors can make anything believable.

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

Usually the characters are where I start. Then I continually ask myself, 'What's the worst thing that could happen to this character?'

I just want to thank people who take big risks in their daily lives when there aren't cameras rolling. I want to dedicate this award to people who stand up for peace and against injustice and intolerance.

I just love actors, and I've always loved actors. I empathize with their job. Everyone thinks it's easy, and it ain't. To be that vulnerable and brave on camera is tough.

I was trying to talk about where we are right now as a society, and talk about the fear we all live in, and certainly since 9-11, how it's affected us and the world.

A creative person has to believe in the unseen and the untouched.
