When I do a political movie, I do a political movie.

I would make a film with a political point of view if I agreed with it, and even, perhaps, if I didn't.

I don't care if you've just won an Oscar, you still have to campaign for parts.

When I make a film, I'm not doing it purely for political reasons. If I just wanted to do that, I'd run for office.

I would love to say to all Americans: 'Each candidate is going to produce a film of an hour and a half. You're going to watch one from each candidate, and then you're going to vote!'

Somebody asked me about the current choice we're being given in the presidential election. I said, Well, it's like two of the scariest movies I can imagine.

I wouldn't want to be just pigeonholed as an extravagant director.

The role and the script are not the only factor to chose or do a film, but the names associated with the project also matters.

I'm not clever enough or aware enough to make a political movie.

I'd love to be in another film, but they haven't asked me. I think it's a shame but the prospects of me doing another one now are remote. Please do campaign on my behalf.
