It's Always Interesting To Play People Different

I See My Job As Trying To Entertain You, To Be Balanced In Some Way, And Morally Responsible. I Don't Want To Glorify A Killer. I Don't Want To Glorify A Rapist. I Don't Want To Do Those Things, But On The Other Hand I Don't Want To Lecture To You, Either.

You Can't Avoid Making Certain Statements.

You Don't Normally Do Another Presentation Of All About Eve. You Do One All About Eve, And That's It.

My Films Ought To Be Judged On Whether They're Entertaining Or Good As Films, But Not On The Political View Necessarily. I'm Trying To Be Morally Responsible And No More. I Don't Have An Agenda I'm Trying To Push.
