Being Understood Is Not The Most Essential

If I Make Two Movies My Entire Life, And They're Two Movies That - Whether They Make A Lot Of Money Or Two People Go To See Them - They Speak Of Me, Then I Consider Them Incredibly Successful. I Don't Need To Be Steven Spielberg.

I Don't Know If You've Ever Seen Some Of The Sidney Lumet Movies, Like Dog Day Afternoon [1975] Or Network [1976]. They're Real Events That Happen In Real Time, And There Are All Of These Different Characters Experiencing The Same Thing In Different Parts Of The Movie ... I Am So Bad At Explaining My Films. But It's In The World Of Finance And The World Of Media, And How They Connect. It Was A Big Undertaking. A Big, Mainstream Movie, Which Stars Julia Roberts And George Clooney. But For Me, It's Really Just A Small Story About Character And People.

I Was Never The Ingenue Or The Pretty Girlfriend Of Tom Cruise In A Movie. I Didn't Have That Career, So I Don't Have To Compete On That Level.

I'm Kind Of A Chatterbox And I Talk Really Fast.

I Wish That I Spoke More Languages. I Speak A Couple Languages, But Not Well Enough To Really Dub Myself. French Is Really The Only One, And It's A Difficult Thing.
