I Like The Opportunity To Make Films.

I'm A Product Of Older Filmmakers I Guess, The Past Where You Get To Make Movies And Scenes Are What They Are.

I've Become Friends With Michael Mann And Oliver Stone; I've Seen Those Guys Work And That Was Great To See.

Well, I Mean, The Original Is Certainly The Jump-off, It Certainly Is What It Is, You Know, I Grew Up Around That Era So I Watched All Those Shows. The Basic Concept Is There, It's Just A Different Movie. Totally Different Actors, Different Filmmakers, Different Script, But Same Concept.

How Do You Capture The Drama Of A Rembrandt Painting In A Movie? How Do You Feel That Moment That They Captured In Two Hours? I Kind Of Fell Into It And At One Point, I Decided I Wanted To Live An Art Life; I Wanted To Tell Stories. I Came To New York, And Did What Most People Do - You Become A Pa And Run And Get Coffee And Pay Your Dues And Learn Until Your Opportunity Comes.

It's Not Worth It, It's Not About Money, Especially When You're Dealing With A Culture. It Should Be About Elevating The Idea Of What We Are And Who We Are As People In The Cinema, And That Kind Of Stuff Keeps Dragging Us Back Down.
