Roman Polanski is a man who cares deeply about his art and its place in this world. What happened to him on his incredible path is filled with tragedy, and most men would have collapsed. Instead, he became a great artist and continues to make great films.

That's one of the difficult things of being an actor that I'm still not used to. You have to go, you have to show up at these places where you know nobody, and sometimes with really impressive, high stakes people like Roman Polanski.

Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes.

'The War' is a stunning achievement in filmmaking.

Movies are immortal art - the first new art since Greek drama.

I wish that every director was as interested in doing as much in camera and with physical objects as much as possible as J.J. Abrams is.

Polanski was very precise. I think he still is.

Personally speaking there's only so long you can go from film to film to film. There's an inspiration an actor gets from the stage.

Everyone I know who is having success in film right now is there because of persistence.

I remember when I took Quentin Tarantino with me to a very private screening of the documentary 'Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired,' which shows some of the legal irregularities of his case. I was involved by the film, and it was an amazing experience to see people weep at the end of it.
