I Was Born In Shawnee, Oklahoma.

I Had The Luxury Of Working On The Script With Andrew [dominik] For A Good Year Before The Film Started, So I Was Already Intimate With The Story [of The Assassination Of Jesse James] And Felt Quite Prepared Walking Into It.

I'd Like To Design Something Like A City Or A Museum. I Want To Do Something Hands On Rather Than Just Play Golf Which Is The Sport Of The Religious Right.

There Are No Secrets At Our House. We Tell The Kids, 'mom And Dad Are Going Off To Kiss.' They Go, 'eww, Gross!' But We Demand It.

I Loved 'saturday Night Fever' When I Was A Kid. I Couldn't Believe People Talked That Way. It Was Just A Whole New Culture I Didn't Understand. I Snuck Into It. It Was An R-rated Film. So It Holds A Special Place.

Democracy Doesn't Work Unless People Are Well Informed, And I Don't Know That We Are. People Just Don't Have The Time. Most People's Daily Lives Are Just About Surviving. Most People Don't Have Time To Really Study [crucial] Issues.
