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.

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

I mean if politics was my main motivation I would be doing politics. But I'm a filmmaker.

I'm a commercial filmmaker.

I've been fortunate, but I'm also not very precious about making sure I'm the star of a film.

But I always see myself as the filmmaker. I wonder if everybody else sees me more as an actor.

I think I'm drawn to films more as a director with a directorial mind even as an actor. I make movies to make the films, not to act.

I'm not a guy who takes films for strong political messages.

Ultimately, I am very filmmaker oriented, as a producer.
