I like to get into a lot of things besides movies. I've been very involved with a few specific efforts. We built this park in New York and it's been a very successful project...

Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.

If there's a criteria that really gets me interested in a work besides any type of personal interaction with the theme, it's if I feel like this is the right piece of work for that director at that moment in their career.

Edward Norton
I'm pretty busy in my life and I'm very aware of what it takes to direct a movie. It takes a lot out of you it takes a lot out of the rest of your life, from other people in your life. I don't lie around hungering for that consumption very often.
Edward Norton
There are tens of thousands of charities and hundreds of thousands, getting towards millions, of people now using it. And when I flip through it, I'm just blown away by people.
