I don't view myself as a political leftie. I view myself as a storyteller who is fair to both sides.

I learned never to listen to acting teachers because they don't know what the hell they're talking about.

I ran spotlight. Swept up. Did box office. Ran the lighting board. But acting was the most fun.

I have personal beliefs and they are sometimes reflected in the movies I make, but I also reflect other points of view.

If you find yourself in a movie that you have questions about, it's not a compromise to your integrity.

Just because someone gets arrested doesn't mean what they are doing is wrong. Some laws are unfair and unjust.

I couldn't care less about being a presenter at the Oscars.
