But it took a Murrow, because Murrow had an audience unlike any of these other guys.

Murrow covered something because it needed coverage. He wasn't trying to get an audience just for the sake of it.

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.

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

Writing a screenplay is like writing a big puzzle, and so the hardest part, I think, is getting the story.

'Monuments Men' is a movie... I don't want to say for grown-ups, because some young folks could appreciate it, too. But if you're expecting 'Transformers,' you're going to be disappointed.
