I think you start to prepare the minute you read something.

Well, I think that when you direct a movie or write it. And in the case of the two movies I did, I wrote and directed, they occupy a special place for you.

There's a lot of mediocrity being celebrated, and a lot of wonderful stuff being ignored or discouraged.

I don't believe there are climate skeptics. I think there are people who indulge in a culture of what can be reduced to Fox network thinking. That has nothing to do with the politics that apply to the protection of quality of life in any sense. It's like talking to a member of a cult.

You're always having to live more to fuel something new. It's an obligation to yourself and to the audience. The personal baggage that comes with being a known actor just adds to that struggle.

I just want real creative freedom without worrying about, you know, car payments.

I am a Justin Timberlake fan.
