'Steve Jobs' is my seventh movie. I believe, if you added them up, I don't think there is more than a total of 10 minutes that takes place in a person's home. They're all in offices, courtrooms, laboratories, things like that.

I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.

How many movies do you see when you can say this director really knew what film he wanted to make? I can count them on the fingers of one hand.

You get to Hollywood and you are in the land of big money where they don't like to see only one screenwriter's name. It's much better if you've got four or five.

I always felt that if I made a movie, it would be one movie; I didn't see how they could make 26 swimming movies.

A director makes only one movie in his life. Then he breaks it into pieces and makes it again.

Doing a movie about Steve Jobs is just generally a provocative thing to do, whoever does it, and it begs a lot of questioning and skepticism only in that, what is this going to be? What am I going to be looking at? And curiosity as well. I think that's all positive in any film, because you want people to be curious about it.

I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.

I'd like to do a hundred different films.
