He [Oliver Stone] is great. I really like working with directors who know what they want and aren't afraid to tell you, "Do it like this. Don't do it like that."

I wasn't terribly familiar. I had read some of the headlines but didn't quite understand difference between WikiLeaks...[Edward] Snowden. And then watching the documentary, working on the film, you got to see his personal journey through this and sort of understand more about what he went through.

Sometimes people just show up, which is kind of scary. And then you are like, 'Okay guy... got to leave'.

This guy [Edward Snowden] was a patriot. He believed very strongly in his beliefs and what he was doing for his country. So it was easy to tap into that and go, "OK, this is what this guy believes in."

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

How do you forget that someone else is another person? No matter who they are. I don't think that's an excuse.
