As a director I would love to work with Marion Cotillard. She's so magical.
My director, Monty Marsh, is really awesome - I've been working with him for years now.
I love the Japanese director Shohei Imamura. His masterpiece in 1979 called, the English title was 'Vengeance is Mine.'

A director must be a policeman, a midwife, a psychoanalyst, a sycophant and a bastard.
I like Rebecca Miller and her writing. She's a tremendous writer and director.
I have mixed feelings over the dismissal of James Comey as FBI director. We served together at the Department of Justice and I've known him for many years.

I'm not a frustrated movie director: I'm not making games because I can't make movies.

I was the music director at a dinner theater called the 'Pheasant Run Theater' in the suburbs of Chicago, and that was my side gig while I acted.
Every song that I compose has to satisfy the music director in me.
Chris Nolan is an amazing director.
