In Film, We Sculpt Time, We Sculpt

Entertainment Has To Come Hand In Hand With A Little Bit Of Medicine. Some People Go To The Movies To Be Reminded That Everything's Okay. I Don't Make Those Kinds Of Movies. That, To Me, Is A Lie. Everything's Not Okay.

Awards Movies Are Normally Sort Of... Life-affirming And Noble. It's Probably Too Much Of An Intellectual Conceit And, You Know, People Don't Like It When You Don't Lead The Bad Guy Off In Cuffs.

When You Go And You Tell A Studio And That It's An Ensemble, That Doesn't Mean A Lot To Them. But, My Hats Off To Paramount And Warner Brothers, Because When We Told Them That These Were The Kinds Of People That We Want To Get, Across The Board, They Were Unbelieveably Enthusiastic About It.

I Learned Just To Be A Belligerent Asshole, Which Was Really: "you Have To Get What You Need To Get Out Of It." You Have To Fight For Things You Believe In, And You Have To Be Smart About How You Position It So That You Don't Just Become White Noise.

For Me, The Scariest Thing About A Serial Killer Is That There's Somebody Who Lives Next Door To You, Running Power Tools Late Into The Night, And You Don't Know He Has A Refrigerator Full Of Penises.
