Gavin O'Connor, I'd walk into a fire for that guy. He's a brilliant filmmaker and a passionate man.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
David O. Russell is probably my favorite filmmaker. He's not only a great director, but he's also a great writer.
John Lee Hancock is someone that I had admired from afar. I think he is a wonderful director... in the tradition I would say both of Clint Eastwood and Frank Capra.
Jamie Foxx. He's been very much a mentor and friend, and we've worked together several times. He's just been such an influence in my career. There's nothing that man can't do, and that's something I would like to reflect in my career.
Ben Stiller, who I love and who is a friend and is such an incredible actor - he's hilarious, obviously, but I thought his performance in 'Greenberg' was extraordinary.
I'd love to do a film with Michael Fassbender. He's one of my heroes. I think he's absolutely amazing and I would love to do a project with him.
I think Michael Caine is a perfectly good actor but it's obvious he's not going to be in one of my films.
I've always wanted to work with Sean Connery - there's something about his style, and his calm, cool demeanor that I find intriguing.
Tim Burton... as an actor you wait and wish and hope and pray you'll work with him.
I would love to work with Cameron Crowe; he's definitely one of my favorite directors.
Sean Penn, for his acting as well as his writing and directing. There are so many actors I respect, but his reach is so wide.
