When You Work Without A Script, You

All Films Are Political, Whether They Mean To Be Or Not. Star Wars Is Political. As Soon As You Have Conflict, Which Is The Key To Most Films, You Have Politics. It's Just That Some Are More Artful With The Handling Of Politics Than Others.

Making A Film Is A Way For Me To Understand What It's Like To Be A Murderer, To Confess, To Be A Beaten Wife, To Be A Minority, To Be A Victor, To Get The Girl, To Lose The Girl. I Can Do All Of That Through The Practice Of An Art Form.

I Personally Have Never Made A Movie In Hollywood, Because I Don't Want To Get Up In My Own Bed And Then Go To The Movie Set, And Then Come Home At Night To My Real Life.

For Example, A Man Who Might Not Have Enormous Charisma, Who Could Be President 40 Years Ago, And Who Was A Deserving President, I Don't Know That George Washington Would Be A President Today, I Don't Know That Abe Lincoln Would, I Don't Know That Roosevelt Would.

Most Human Beings Who Are Accustomed To Attempting To See The World From Various Points Of View Tend To Be More Liberal Than Conservative.
