I'm just happy to be a film where for once I don't have to worry about my hair because my managers are always complaining about my hair looking depressing in my movies. Which is true. I mean it's true.

What I liked about American movies when I was a kid was that they're sort of larger than life and I think I'm still suffering from that reaction.

I like movies about failing.

I'm really proud of 'Moneyball.' To me it's about feeling pride in a movie I made. I think when I'm an old man I'll be able to show it to my grandkids with pride. That's all I can really go for: making movies to please me.

Besides the fact that I make movies there's nothing interesting about my life at all unfortunately.

I don't know what has happened to movies but lately every movie is at least 20 minutes too long. It used to be that if you were three hours long it was because it was epic - a movie about Gandhi something with very important subject matters.

Music in movies is all about dissonance and consonance tension and release.

I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work my movies. You become an actor to act.

It's too expensive that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. It is too expensive to make movies. That's not true it is too expensive to market movies. Making movies is not.

I want to make movies about my country from my point of view.
