To Be That Big Of

After Three Takes, [george Clooney] Is Like, 'we Got It,' And I'm Still Thinking, 'i'm Just Getting Used To This. I Shouldn't Have Done It In A Russian Accent.' No, He's Great. He's A Good Guy.

A Lot Of Times In Movies, You See The "small Town" People, Being Bowled Over By This Creative Entity Or This Corporate Ideal, And It's Not True, At All.

I Don't Think I've Ever Signed Onto Anything As Quickly As I Did The Hollars, Because I Come From A Really Loving, Well-connected Family, Where We See Each Other All The Time. And When I Was Done With This Script, I Was Like, "oh My God, That's My Family!" This Is Obviously A Very Dysfunctional Family, But There Was Something About It That Was Sort Of Universal. And I Think That In This Day And Age In Today's World - There's A Lot Of Drama Out There. It's Nice To Tell Stories About Things As Simple And Powerful As Family.

It's Not About Celebrity Or Not. It's All About, Do You Have That 'girl In A Cardigan' In You. You Gotta Have That.

To Be That Big Of A Star And That Grounded And That Classy, I'm Mean [ George Clooney] Was A True Mentor For Me And, As A Director, He's Incredible.
