I have a strong desire to communicate what I feel about the world. That's exciting to me.

I feel that the world is increasingly about the bottom line, and not so much about human respect or human dignity. In that regard, people who care about other people will not be in a position to make choices and do things that other people who they're competing against will get to do.

I think Los Angeles is often portrayed as kind of a petri dish, where bad decisions start and then spread to the rest of the world. I don't see it that way. I feel Los Angeles is a place of almost primal struggle and survival. It's not a city that embraces its inhabitants.

A script like 'Nightcrawler' gives me an opportunity to truly realize a vision that's mine, which is exciting.

I feel like my life has always been the 'Hey Look at Me Show.' I'm not apologetic about that.

I am very excited about Saturday night. It's just an exciting time and you can feel it all over this campus. We have to make sure that they're ready and focused and anxious, but not too excited that we're making errors.
