I've got to work really hard and I know exactly what I've achieved because I know how hard I've worked, and I make sure to work as hard as I absolutely possibly can, because I know that's the only shot I have at being successful.

My father has positional vertigo, and if he flies he gets really dizzy, so he has to drive out to California, which he does a couple times a year. We talk, but we e-mail mostly.

A friend of my mom's was a casting director so, really as kind of a lark, I had a couple of acting jobs that had just enough exposure to give me the option to continue if I wanted to. I followed through with it.

I try to cast really good actors and give them a chance to do their very best work, give them as much time and space as they need.

I've consciously taken on material that's a bit too much for me but not an overreach. The first movie, just about performances.

On the day he had colonic irrigation: 'I feel I lost my virginity that day in so many ways.'
Ben Affleck

I really feel that's part of why audiences go to movies now is to take you to a world you have no access to, whether it's the world of Avengers or Middle-earth or bars in Boston you would be afraid to go into. You see characters there - they aren't hobbits but they're close.

School plays are fine. Theater in school is fine.

Such a senseless and tragic day. My family and I send our love to our beloved and resilient Boston.

I like to shoot until we have a relaxed environment on the set, and I try to schedule that.

I like roundtables because you can talk more directly to people. And you also can get kind of a vibe on what a journalist's take is on something, and have a conversation with them more.

I'm trying to make people feel welcome and feel valued.

There's a lot of noise in the world, and the internet magnifies that energy.

Online gambling is very seductive and very illusory. It can seem like a really good idea. It can seem like what people told you to work hard and get ahead, but when someone shows you something and it's too good to be true, it probably is.

It takes time to develop a sense of humor, shared world views.

You have to look also to the media, where you have a vast majority of the loudest and most influential political voices in America media from people who came from the entertainment world.
