Job
"I had more fun making Traffic than either of the Ocean's films."
Fun
"When things go right it's hard to figure out why, but when things go wrong it's really easy."
Difficulty
"Well, it's 15 years since Sex, Lies And Videotape, and if you hang around long enough you're having the same arguments with just a new set of people every few years and it gets boring."
Sex
"Traffic is about drugs. As detailed a portrait as I can muster about what is happening in the drug world, from top to bottom, from policy to how things move on the street."
Policy
"The key is, if you're not monkeying around with the script, then everything usually goes pretty well."
Movies
"I guess why the Ocean's films are hard for me is because on the one hand you have to make sure the performances are there, but on the other hand it's a film that demands, to my mind, a very layered and complex visual scheme. That takes a lot of time to figure out."
Time
"Warner Bros. has talked about going out with low-cost DVDs simultaneously in China because piracy is so huge there. It will be a while before bigger movies go out in all formats; in five years, everything will."
Movies
"Maybe I'll paint, do photography, just something else. I can see that."
Hobbies
"I'm in the process of working out an arrangement to make some very, very, very small films in the midst of all these films and maybe that will help. But you get tired of talking. You just want to do it."
