A lot of cinema is about the game of authenticity - do you feel it's real?

What I love about film is that everybody often connects to something so different, and things you couldn't anticipate when you were making the film, so you just make it as honest as possible.

Theatrically seeing a movie with a group of people and having a collective experience has an authenticity that you can't get with your big screen television.

For us, as actors, and even for the director, it gave us a sense of authenticity to what we were doing because we were talking about Hollywood and we were in Hollywood.

Because we're actors we can pretend and fake it, but I'd rather the intimate investment was authentic.

I wanted to make people feel the same way I feel when I see a good movie.

When I go to movies and I love the movie, it's because it feels like it articulated something about how we're living now, and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it.

Well I think always, when you remake films, I always think the first one is most original, authentic.

Whatever it is that makes your movie unique is something you should embrace.

One of the reasons I love to jump back and forth between mediums is that film does allow me to be more literal. I can go to the real place. I can go to the Coliseum, and I don't have to fake it.
