There's not a lot of good movies being made.

Jon Krakauer had documented it very accurately and very well but this kid made a real impression on people, and likewise they on him. To talk to them was very moving in many cases because they talk about him like they saw him yesterday. In most cases they knew this kid for a couple of weeks in their whole life and he just lasted with them.

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.

Oh, I'm a big-mouth. I said a lot of things.

I can make a better living as an actor than I can as a director. Though I certainly would prefer to be directing movies.

It's pretty much rock-'n'-roll. I sit down and start feeling stuff and writing.

I love acting, truly my favorite people are actors.
