gone people tried
People say I've gone against Hollywood, but I've tried to be independent within Hollywood, tried to be my own person.
drawn people
I'm always drawn to stories that people don't know about, particularly when they're inside of a story that everyone knows about.
believe people
I believe the American people care a lot about the environment.
changed fascinated keen living
I'm fascinated by journalism. I put a keen eye, not a negative eye, on its role, particularly how it is changed by the times we're living in.
themselves tried turned
I never had a problem with my face on screen. I thought it is what it is, and I was turned off by actors and actresses that tried to keep themselves young.
entertainment needs public taking
The focus of entertainment is taking away from what the public needs as news. I think investigative journalism will always be important and always find its way, be it on the Internet or wherever.
attention paying people rather sexiest top
I think that people should be paying a lot more attention to other issues, rather than who's the top 10 this or... who's the sexiest or the most beautiful.
work
I work because I want to work. Work keeps me going.

Then as I grew up and went about my life, I think I just got more and more interested in that gray area where things are not so easily quantified.
hard hear held journalism nixon opinion resigned wants
Nixon had already resigned and the held opinion (in Hollywood) was 'No one cares. No one wants to hear about this. And I said, 'No, it's not about Nixon. It's about something else. It's about investigative journalism and hard work.
life
I would go into life for a year. Go on the bum, so to speak.
changed films instead people
There's going to be a lot of films in there that people are just not going to like at all. That's part of the deal. I don't think it's changed. What has changed is now, instead of 350 people there, as it was the first year, there's 40,000, 45,000.
alone came leave milk sequel stuff
The stuff that came to us wasn't any good, ... (They said) can you do a sequel to 'The Sting?' No, leave that one alone ... don't try to milk it.
