I have nothing but the greatest respect and affection for Kevin McCarthy.

Kevin McCarthy is one of my best friends.

In doing the screenplay for 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' the most important thing for me was to constantly go back to wherever the opposition would argue. So I had to keep reading all the books and articles about why McCarthy is such a good guy.

I'm a huge Cormac McCarthy fan and have read every book of his.

One more recent novelist to come along is Cormac McCarthy. Him, I like.

I didn't agree with what Joe McCarthy was trying to do, but I sure did admire his methods.

Cormac McCarthy's language is perfect. He is in my view the greatest living American prose stylist.

John Danforth, I thought, was a great senator and did a great job with the United Nations. I think he's a good man.

Tim Lewis is great, he's a great coordinator.

I speak very highly of Jim Thome. Not only is he a great player, but he's a great individual.
