Different people work different ways.

I like emotions, but I really don't like sentimentality, and I don't like when things break their spell.

Everyone I know who used to be in the intelligence community is moving into the corporate world.

I can't imagine directing from someone else's script.

You change or you hide your head in the sand.

The writing is really hard. You're alone. It really pulls it out of you. You pull it out of your head. But when you're a director, you're shopping - you're picking this actor, you're picking this scene. It's like the most intense kinetic high-speed shopping of all time. You sit in a chair and it will all come rushing at you like a wind tunnel.

But what I didn't recognize when I was much younger was this sort of...when you're on, when you're really on, go at it.
