From ’45, the moment Franklin Roosevelt dies, we’re running ratlines with the Germans, helping Nazis escape.

Each actor requires a different language.

Actors Different Language
I would vote for the man who’s lived life, who’s done different occupations, who’s been out in the real world and struggled to make a living, struggled to raise a family, struggled with life as it exists. So I’d vote for experience, honest experience.

Experience Men Real
I’d rather get past the tyranny of now, where you get judged for something based on what’s happening at the moment.

[Nixon] reduced the meaning of his life to nothing but power. In the film, we gave this sad figure consciousness of what he was. We weren’t right to do that – I don’t think he did have that consciousness. But we did it for movie reasons – to create empathy.

Get the overall. Some of my films may have been crude at times, or tough, or missed the points, but I’ve tried to get the overall in. I think that’s more important. You may miss a thing or two, but you move faster. If you can do it in three takes, do it in three takes.

It was a tough experience with Alan Horn, who didn’t like anything that was R-rated. So you can imagine he hated some of my films.

Hell is the impossibility of reason.

We pray for no destruction, and for the forces of destruction not to take over.
