It's a good question because a movie isn't good or bad based on its politics. It's usually good or bad for other reasons though you might agree or disagree with its politics.

George Clooney's 'Ides of March' could be the most under-appreciated movie of the year. In 20 years they're gonna go back and say 'Oh that was American politics in that time period.' I follow politics I love it and that movie is so authentic.

I love Christmas. Frosty the Snowman peace on Earth and mangers Salvation Army bell ringers and reindeer the movie 'Meet Me in St. Louis ' office parties and cookies.

Being a movie star and this applies to all of them means being looked at from every possible direction. You are never left at peace you're just fair game.

In this day and age you need a lot of patience if you are in the movie business.

A movie goes from several stages from idea to script. As you continue shooting you will make some adjustments. You're constantly adjusting. It's like a piece of music. You're constantly trying to make it better.

The sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie.

Music is the soundtrack to the crappy movie that is my life.

I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do as I'm writing a movie is go through all those songs trying to find good songs for fights or good pieces of music to layer into the film.

James Cameron has always been way ahead of the curve in terms of the use of technology in his movies.
