You Know, Veterans Come Home And They

I'm Always Looking For A Way To Surprise Audiences. That's, I Feel, My Job As A Director. I Felt That Amy Adams Playing A Tough Woman In 'the Fighter' Was A Surprise. People Saw Her As A Princess.

I Just Love Real Characters; They're Not Pretentious, And Every Emotion Is On The Surface, They're Regular Working People. Their Likes, Their Dislikes, Their Loves, Their Hates, Their Passions; They're All Right There On The Surface.
