Martin Scorsese, everything he does, I've got to see. And Jack Nicholson, I've got to see what he does.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Martin Scorsese is one of the great filmmakers of all time.
Really, what I'm doing is an attempt to continue the best work of the people I adore: Francis Coppola and Scorsese and Robert Altman and Stanley Kubrick and those amazing directors whose work I grew up with and loved.
If Martin Scorsese calls, I am available. And then there the ones, well, you can just run down the list - any of those Oscar-nominated films, they have amazing directors across the board.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, I don't know if you'd call him a great actor, but he's amazing in terms of his presence, and he is interesting enough that you want to watch him.
I know that every actor that I know, when Daniel Day-Lewis does a film, and he doesn't work that often, but we run to the theater to see what he's up to, and with such delicious excitement. The same goes for Meryl Streep.
Scorsese will only work with brilliant material. And everyone wants to work with him.
Show me a Scorsese film, and I'll show you a movie where he's taken risks. It's just his nature. He's an artist, and artists take risks. He always does what he believes in.
Ralph Fiennes and Edward Norton are among my favorite actors.
I think of Paul Feig as the Scorsese of comedy. He's the best at what he does. I think people just trust everything that he's got to say.
Sean Penn, for his acting as well as his writing and directing. There are so many actors I respect, but his reach is so wide.
