When you go for something because you're curious about it, you get psyched up about the chance of getting into it. it's like an actor meets a role, and you slip into that body and see what happens, to experience certain conditions, to adopt a certain character. even shooting is a study of the character. i think both the character and the actor, and eventually the filmmaker - myself - are finding a way to accept their environment and being accepted and feel comfortable of themselves.

When you're casting a movie and when you're shooting a film, the eyes are the most important feature of any performer, really. any great actor literally knows exactly how to use their eyes, and even as a filmmaker i love shooting huge close-ups because it's those eyes that mean so much to me.

[the man] was a case where it was a funny role teamed up with another actor. it's a great teaming. and the role was a bigger role. it wasn't so much that it was a co-starring role. this is not a new direction. i'm not saying, 'no. i'm only now co-starring.' it just happens it's a co-starring role.

If you have a friend, what's the best way you can experience her beauty? it's to really accept her. she's weird in this way, i accept it. she's hard to talk to, i accept it. then that person eventually will come all the way out into the sun. i think it's the same way with our talent. we say, "look, i'm not going to judge you. i'm going to try to use you in the very best way."

If you test iron man and that audience doesn't respond well, you can be damn sure that there is something wrong with the movie that you have to address. because they're expecting a certain amount of action, right? they want a hero. there are certain things that have to be compatible with the way the audience is thinking about it. if you take some other film, like no country for old men, you can end up with all kinds of crazy reactions.
