But it took a Murrow, because Murrow had an audience unlike any of these other guys.
good
We couldn't think of any one (actor) who was as good as he was, or as bad.
couch head slept
We've been friends for 25 years, and he slept on my couch when he couldn't get a job. I loaned him $100 (56 pounds) so he could get his first set of head shots, so it's particularly gratifying, truly, for me to see him rise.
activism fascinated grow talked
We didn't grow up in that generation. But we're fascinated by that time. We've talked about what that kind of activism must have been like. I think this is kind of our way of experiencing it.

That's like a word in the dictionary now. It doesn't surprise me, but it makes me kinda sad. And it makes me a little frightened.
bit chance easy everybody good million money night
A film like 'Good Night And Good Luck,' you make that for $7 million because you know it's a black-and-white film, and it's not an easy sell. If you make it for $7 million, then everybody can have a chance to make a little bit of money, and you get to make the film you want to make.

I don't make my living writing; I make my living as a producer and as a director.
great movies whatever
Creatively, it's great, because when you write your own movies, you get to create whatever you want.
Actors know how to talk to other actors in a way that sometimes other directors just don't.
expecting folks men
'Monuments Men' is a movie... I don't want to say for grown-ups, because some young folks could appreciate it, too. But if you're expecting 'Transformers,' you're going to be disappointed.
