#Quote
1[on creating Hilary Duff's character in War Inc.] I went online and I printed out the trampiest pictures of our trampiest pop-stars in their trampiest moments. And I tried to take the most horrific aspects of several of them and try to combine it into one person.
2[on directing 'John Cusack' in War, Inc.] When he would do a scene, he'd nail it in one or two takes, and he'd give me two or three more takes that were slightly different. There was such precision to it, how they were different: Here's one that's slightly funnier; here's one that's slightly more serious; here's one that's slightly more concerned. He had such control over his instrument, his body.
