I Don't Like Alien Films Where You

I Think I've Been Fortunate Enough To Have A Fairly Long Career And Hopefully I'm At The Middle Of It Now. And I Think I'm Starting To Develop A Certain Amount Of Experience And A Certain Amount Of Wisdom About Kind Of What Really Matters And What Doesn't Matter.

I Don't Like Alien Films Where You Don't Get To See The Aliens.

I Was In New York 9/11. Mark's [wahlberg] From Boston, Flew There Immediately After. I Was In Nice Bastille Day When The Truck Drove Through And Killed All These People. It's The New Reality, Unfortunately. The Idea Of Trying To Explore How We Process This Kind Of Event, How We Survive Emotionally, What We Tell Our Kids: That Was The Movie [patriots Day] We Wanted To Make.

We're Both [with Mark Wahlberg] Capable Of Being Sarcastic, Vicious, Violent Lunatics, But We Hold Each Other In Check, Appeal To The Best Aspects Of Each Other.

I Had Great Luck With Tim Mcgraw Twice In 'friday Night Lights' And 'the Kingdom.' I Love Finding Off-beat Casting And Finding Someone You Know In One Way And You Reinvent Them In Another Way. I Like Doing That As A Director.
