All Films Are Political, Whether They Mean

I Think It's A Terrible Shame That Politics Has Become Show Business.

I'm Trying To Be Morally Responsible And No More. I Don't Have An Agenda I'm Trying To Push. People Talk About Three Days Of The Condor As Being Anti-government But The Last Statement In That Movie Is The Cia Guy Saying To Robert Redford, "ask 'em When They're Running Out. Ask 'em When There's No Heat In Their Homes And They're Cold. Ask 'em When Their Engines Stop. Ask 'em When People Who Have Never Known Hunger Start Going Hungry. You Want To Know Something? They Won't Want Us To Ask 'em. They'll Just Want Us To Get It For 'em!"

I See My Job As Trying To Entertain You, To Be Balanced In Some Way, And Morally Responsible. I Don't Want To Glorify A Killer. I Don't Want To Glorify A Rapist. I Don't Want To Do Those Things, But On The Other Hand I Don't Want To Lecture To You, Either.

I Didn't Believe That I'd Ever Be Lucky Enough To Be Able To Make A Living As An Actor.

When You Work Without A Script, You Are In A Sense Working In A Much More Improvisational Way Than When You Are Prepared Totally.
