I'm such an antsy type of person. I can't write in a room without other people around. I write in coffee shops.
My one guiding rule for success in the film world would be, be careful of your friends.
As a general rule, I don't plan to travel with my Oscars, but we may have to make an exception.
Even in a comedy, you have to make people feel. You have to put your hand inside their soul and twist out their heart.
I'm a deeply broken person, and broken institutions fascinate me.
I miss my mother very, very much.
We're trying to reinvent Bond. He's 28 - no Q, no gadgets.
I thought 'The King's Speech' was great.
The wonderful thing about Clint is you can never second guess how he is going to react to anything.
I like to write about things about which I have no answers, questions that trouble me. These things trouble me.
Unless I'm really uneasy with what I'm writing, I lose interest very quickly.
We give you characters we'd feel very comfortable judging, and then go 'Oh yeah? Watch this'.
I don't pay much attention to the press. My films always get good reviews and bad reviews. I just try to make the best film I can.
You have to have empathy, knowledge and compassion for your characters if you're a writer.
There's nothing more painful than writing.
You don't make a film because the audience is ready for it. You make a film because you have questions that are in your gut.
