We All Have This Fantasy Of Finding

Have This Chet Baker Movie Coming Out And In That Situation, I Went Down The Rabbit Hole Studying Chet Baker And Being Obsessed With The Period And The Music And The Relationships And The Dynamic, And Everything, Drug Addiction. There Was So Much I Wanted To Get At To Kind Of Get At The Truth. With Regression, I Was Certainly In Alejandro's [amenabar] Hands.

The Truth Is That The More You Get Paid, The Less Freedom You Have. They Never Pay You For Nothing.

I Got To Work With Robert Deniro Once And It Was A Strange Experience. Gwyneth Paltrow And I Were Doing Great Expectations Movie Together And We Were Complaining About What A Mediocre Film Experience It Was. Deniro Showed Up On Set And All Of A Sudden The Director Got Better, The Director Of Photography Got Better - Everybody Got More Interested And Excited. Deniro Isn't Waiting For Other People To Create The Environment That He Wants, He Brings It Along With Him.

The Drones Are Really Interesting - How Have The Troops Withdrawn From Afghanistan? Because We've Upped The Drone Strikes And Most Of The Country Doesn't Even Really Know What That Means Or Who We're Killing Or... It's Such A New Weapon That We Don't Know What The Long Term Impacts Of That Kind Of Military Action Is Going To Be.

The Script [of Regression] Wasn't The Draw For Me. It Was Largely Alejandro [amenabar] And His Way Of Talking. To Hear Him Talking About The Script Was Way More Interesting Than The Script. He Wrote It, And So, English Is His Second Language. It's An Interesting Thing. I've Had That Before. I Was Directed By Alfonso Cuarón Before, Too. It's Always Interesting When You're Being Directed By Somebody Like That. So Much Of Directing Is About Communication, And Finding The Right Words, And What It Means, And How To Convey Certain Emotions And Ideas.
