'Hugo' is made in the classical style of the 1940s.

Everything about 'Hugo' to me is poignant, from the broken orphan to the old man losing his past to the fragility of film itself.

One of my biggest inspirations is President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Yea, President Hugo.

The name 'Boss' started with people that worked for me... It was not meant like Boss, capital B, it was meant like 'Boss, where's my dough this week?' And it was sort of just a term among friends. I never really liked it.

Anything I learned about the fine art of acting I learned from Hugo.

I don't care who's on the label, because I have a job to do.

I hadn't given much thought to the prospect of a Hugo nomination at the time it happened, but obviously once you're nominated, winning one seems a bit less far-fetched than before.

I'm a Joseph Abboud fan. I'm a Hugo Boss fan. I'm a Brooks Brothers fan. As far as suits go, those are my go-tos.

We wanted 'Hugo' to be a cornucopia of cinema, a celebration of everything we do in movies.
