magazine quote time
All we need is a quote from Time magazine saying, 'McCarthy is riveting.' It would be fantastic. If we can get away with it, we'll do it,
fun icing truth
The truth is this is all fun for me. I've never been here before, so it's all icing on the cake.
thinking hollywood
I don't think that Hollywood will have much to do with changing politics. Hollywood usually reflects things.
fun sound-and-music film-directing
Acting is one element in a film. Directing is sort of the painter using all of those elements - sound and music and camera and putting it all together. And that can be fun and exciting. If you fail, it's incredibly upsetting - much more upsetting than when you're an actor. But when you succeed it's incredibly, incredibly exciting, so I like the risk of it all.
answers film asks
I'm interested in making films that ask questions and don't particularly provide answers.
running fun imagine
Honestly, as you can imagine, it really isn't all that fun directing yourself, running back and forth to the monitors to see if you're terrible or not.
world faults truth-is
They say I was a bad Batman, that it was my fault, that I buried the franchise. But the truth is, it was a big project. I was pretty intimidated in that world. I did the best I could in the situation I was given.
winning people united-states
In the United States 95% of the people who win elections have the most money. That's it. So, money is a big part of elections. But that happens all the time.
car people motorcycle
After a while, you just want transportation, and things like cool cars or motorcycles are all about getting attention. I get all the attention I could ever need, so I kind of like being in a minivan and people not paying so much attention to me.
aunt use lessons
I had my Aunt Rosie, who was famous and then not, so I got a lesson in fame early on. And I understood how little it has to do with you. And also how you could use it.
film fame enjoy
Fame can be very dangerous, because you can start to enjoy that part of it. And that's not the good part of what I do for a living. The good part is the making of films. The unpleasant part is the fame part, if you're not careful.
country growing-up thinking
I grew up at a time where I think most people had a social and political conscience. Some of the biggest changes in our country's political history happened at the time I was growing up, so I was raised to be a part of those things and to participate and I will continue to do that as much as I can.
hands people crowds
I've walked with very famous people down red carpets over to the crowd of thousands of people, and you'll reach out to shake their hand and they've got a camera in their hand. And they don't even get their hand out, because they're recording the whole time.
nice years two
I enjoy living in a nice house and having a nice life. So I do two or three commercials overseas a year to sort of fill in, because they pay pretty well.
