I think we're very complicated and we're capable of all kinds of things, and movies don't reflect that.

You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.

It's a very smart and heartfelt movie and that's why, I think, we're all drawn to it. We really showed up for this with this collective idea that it was really ambitious, but we felt we all really had something to gain from it.

It's such a complicated thing to put a movie together. The book world is so much simpler.

I think mostly it's the adventure that I will have in making the movie. That's what I look for.

War is so complex; human nature is so complex. There's no filmmaker who has ever figured it out perfectly.

Dealing with complexity is an inefficient and unnecessary waste of time, attention and mental energy. There is never any justification for things being complex when they could be simple.

I think you can always find interesting, complex and fascinating characters to play in different kinds of movies. It's in your hands.

I may be alone in this, but I do sense the power of film, in that movies have the ability to literally change people's minds. That's pretty powerful stuff when you consider that.

But I don't just see the movie when I see the movie, I see all the great people who worked on it and all their hard work, because they could not have worked any harder.
