I don't read newspapers too much , just because they tend to make me feel I have a political obligation that I think is a distraction from what my political offerings are going to be if I just make my movies.

When everything gets answered, it's fake.

I think that people like the Howard Sterns, the Bill O'Reillys and to a lesser degree the bin Ladens of the world are making a horrible contribution.

I get a little scared of words like maturity.

My greatest interest in it was certainly not to avoid those things that were going to be controversial about the family but the interest I had in the story was predominantly what he was pursuing and not as much what he was fleeing.

I don't have any particular excitement about working with any specific director or actor at this point.

If there's anything disgusting about the movie business, it's the whoredom of my peers.
