I'm trying to be morally responsible and no more. I don't have an agenda I'm trying to push. People talk about Three Days of the Condor as being anti-government but the last statement in that movie is the CIA guy saying to Robert Redford, "Ask 'em when they're running out. Ask 'em when there's no heat in their homes and they're cold. Ask 'em when their engines stop. Ask 'em when people who have never known hunger start going hungry. You want to know something? They won't want us to ask 'em. They'll just want us to get it for 'em!"

Most human beings who are accustomed to attempting to see the world from various points of view tend to be more liberal than conservative.

You are not an active creator of the film.

You mustn't regret decisions that you make. Because the decisions are made out of your gut in a way and you have to stick with them.

What I really want to do is produce. There isn’t much patience with a slow developing story line anymore.

When you make a film you usually make a film about an idea.

My films ought to be judged on whether they're entertaining or good as films, but not on the political view necessarily. I'm trying to be morally responsible and no more. I don't have an agenda I'm trying to push.
