I thought this was pretty timely and it was pretty interesting [to film in Snowden].

There's the acting side of it so you work with a coach. Dissect a script. If it's a character, then obviously a character study. Just depends on if there is training needed.

Not write, maybe develop. Direct, sure. As an actor, you work on so many films, you sort of start to see who directs well and who doesn't.

I feel like it's really important for an actor to play different roles so people can see, "Oh, he can play that guy or he can play this guy." You're not just "THAT guy," that cowboy guy, that whatever guy. Then you are limiting yourself.

You understand what good directing is, you can identify it pretty easily.

Romantic dramas? I love The Notebook. Titanic was great. Classic.

I couldn't say a specific thing, but the media is not really held to high standards anymore.
