Jude [Law] is really good at playing an obsessive. He has a very watchable quality when he's on a quest for something.

I actually didn't find out about a lot of music until I was older. Some people have been listening to the Beatles their whole lives; I didn't discover them until I was 18 years old.

When I look around the world and think why is everything working or not working, it's because it's entrenched ideology. You can't solve a problem if you're sitting down with people who say, "All these ideas are off the table because of what I believe."

Anytime you've got something that can take you into the political realm then you've opened up the conversation a lot.

The key is, how do you feel with the one asshole? They cannot be talked to. That's why they are assholes.

Making a film that's supposed to be fun to watch is really hard - that's the weird irony of it.

I tend to be drawn more to people than pure story ideas.
