What kind of town do we want in the future, and how are we going to plan on that?

I've had great success and I've had catastrophic failure. It's really how you handle the rough stuff that defines you, I think.

It's always an interesting sort of adventures that gets someone into a movie.

What first caught my eye about Rihanna was an interview she did with Diane Sawyer after the Chris Brown incident, where she was very articulate, very poised, obviously a smart girl who talked about a very traumatic experience.

You're in the middle of making a movie and this part of the process is always very interesting. Because you think what you're making your movie is and then you start putting it out there, and then people tell you what your movie is.

It's always funny to me how your movie becomes no longer yours and people interpret it how they want and react how they want to react to it, and it's fun to kind of watch that happen.

Michael Mann's always been one of my heroes.
