OK, I know this is going to disgust you, Michael, but a lot of people are in this business to make money.

I tend to be what I would call more progressive than conservative, but I think either extreme is excessive.

I think it's a terrible shame that politics has become show business.

I'm not a very good predictor in any area of art, particularly my own. I don't know how to evaluate that.

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!"

I have one life. I am a certain age. I'm married to one person. I have a certain number of children. I won't have another life other than that, but I do have many lives through the films.
