What you learn when you direct a film, even more so than as a producer, it's a marriage. It's like a relationship with that film so you've got to make sure that it's really something that you want to live with for three years or however long it is. So I haven't found the right thing to marry yet.

When I write, I make decent money doing it, but I don't wake up dreaming about writing.

I think it's more interesting to throw people into a story and let them catch up instead of explaining and feeling like you have to slow down for them. I think audiences, for the most part, they don't want to be ahead of you.

A film like 'Good Night And Good Luck,' you make that for $7 million because you know it's a black-and-white film, and it's not an easy sell. If you make it for $7 million, then everybody can have a chance to make a little bit of money, and you get to make the film you want to make.

There are times when you work with directors on set, and things are a bit rudderless, and those can be good directors.

I find writing really difficult - definitely the most difficult of all the things I do.

Look, a lot of directors were actors, even if they were unsuccessful actors which I think is helpful. I think it's a really helpful thing for a director to have experienced that. It helps you know how to talk to actors and how to get what you need from them.

I don't make my living writing; I make my living as a producer and as a director.

Grant Heslov

When you look at a film like 'The Ides of March' or 'Good Night, and Good Luck' even, those are really contained pictures.

There are films that cost a lot of money that might be decent films. But if they don't perform in that first weekend or two, they're gone.
