For the most part, everybody who fights in war fights to survive.

If Bush, as I believe, has reliable information on the fact that Saddam Hussein is making weapons of mass destruction, I cannot not support the policies of his government.

The most expensive habit in the world is celluloid, not heroin, and I need a fix every few years.

I'm very collaborative with everybody on the set.

In the re-creation of combat situations, and this is coming from a director who's never been in one, being mindful of what these veterans have actually gone through, you find that the biggest concern is that you don't look at war as a geopolitical endeavor.

When I don't have a movie, I don't take a job just for the sake of working. I just sit it out until I find something I'm passionate about.

Some movies I make for myself. I just sort of make them for myself. I do that sometimes when the subject matter is very sensitive and very personal and I really can't imagine I'm an audience.
