I've become friends with Michael Mann and Oliver Stone; I've seen those guys work and that was great to see.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I met Michael Milken for the first time with Oliver Stone at the Drexel Burnham offices in Los Angeles.
I worked with Lawrence Olivier some years ago. He was a great mentor.
Michael Mann's always been one of my heroes.
I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.
I've been really lucky because I've managed to become wonderful friends with a handful of very talented British designers. Christopher Kane has become one of my very good friends - also Erdem. Jonathan Saunders is another brilliant talent who's very kind. We all hang out.
Greg Berlanti, David Nutter, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim are the people I wanted to work with. They're smart, they're funny, they're cool, they're edgy.
I've had wonderful collaborators. They're very different, just as actors are. Working on a show with Nathan Lane is different from working on a show with Chita Rivera. It keeps you on your toes because it's different every time.
Eddy Arnold was a great friend of mine, and through the years, Eddy and I, we did a lot of shows together, and we even worked in some real estate transaction things together, and he helped me there. You know, he was a great real estate man.
I actually had the good fortune to work with Nick Hoult on 'Mad Max' in Africa, so we became really fast friends.
It was a challenge, to work with Oliver Stone.
