sarcastic peers disgusting
If there's anything disgusting about the movie business, it's the whoredom of my peers.
growing-up events intimate
When I was growing up and somebody like Robert De Niro had a movie come out, it was a cultural event. Because he had such a confidence and a single mission that was so intimate.
dream children believe
I do not believe in a simplistic and inflammatory view of good and evil. I believe this is a big world full of men, women, and children who struggle to eat, to love, to work, to protect their families, their beliefs, and their dreams.
good-movie made
There's not a lot of good movies being made.
drama emotional done
It has nothing to do with the emotional demands of a role; I've done comedies that are as draining to me as any drama.
trying paid
You try to do your best at what you're getting paid for.
money buzz needs
All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine
writing thinking two
Well, I think that when you direct a movie or write it. And in the case of the two movies I did, I wrote and directed, they occupy a special place for you.
political good-movie envelopes
Putting something in a movie because it's in the news doesn't make it political to me. If you're not going outside the same old, same old, if you're not pushing the envelope, then you're not doing anything. A good movie is a political thing.
sacrifice medicine soldier
Sacrificing American soldiers or innocent civilians in an unprecedented preemptive attack on a separate sovereign nation may well prove itself a most temporary medicine.
games two willing
If you're willing to put two thoughts into a picture then you're already ahead of the game.
marriage easy
Marriage ain't easy, but it's great most of the time.
summer laughing littles
Well, look at all of these summer blockbusters. You can't help but laugh a little, because you've already seen a lot of these movies 482 times.
want watches would-be
At this stage, what would be rewarding would be for audiences to want to watch.
