What you learn when you direct a film, even more so than as a producer, it's a marriage.

So I haven't found the right thing to marry yet. View quote

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. View quote
