I'm Very Interested In People,

Jennifer [lawrence] And Josh [hutcherson] Seem Very, Very Grounded. They're Getting Down To The Film Like They Did Last Time.

The Script For 'infamous' Was So Poised Between Tragedy And Comedy. It's A Dream Part. One Reads Those Scripts With A Sense Of Melancholia. When You Read A Script That Good I Remember Thinking, 'oh, This Script Is Too Good. They'll Never Give It To Me.'

Certainly For My Father, There Were Great Times, Good Times, Not-so-good Times. He Might Be Shooting A Fellini Film For Six Months, Then Not Working For Two Months. I'm Used To That Dynamic.

I Often Get Sent Scripts About Little Men In Big Situations. There's A Comic Element To It, Which Is Forces Stacked Against This Little Guy, And How Is He Going To Defeat Them?
