I love history, so I do a lot of movies about history.

One of the things I like about doing historical films is drawing the line between now and then.

I like making films about old people because they are repositories of amazing stories that they tell well. And they're incredibly good telly.

Obviously, I love to do both contemporary and historical fiction. When a hint of a story grabs me, I try to go with it to see where it will take me whatever the setting.

I've always wanted to do a period movie, to do something the turn of the century, and I'm really fascinated by that whole time period.

I like movies where you can come back and re-watch them and admire the cinematography 25 years later.

I like writing historical fiction.

I would like to be in tons of different types of movies and do different things. I like action movies, and with 'Mr. Peabody and Sherman', I got to see a historical movie, too.

I like movies in particular, on video or T.V. I have lots of old favorites, like Danny Kaye in 'The Court Jester' or 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' or James Stewart in 'Winchester '73.' But I also like a lot of modern films.

I loved history because to me, history was like watching a movie.
