“Well I could have been just a writer. I had been a hair dresser. I could have stuck with that.”
“If your skin is crawling, pay attention. If something doesnâ€™t feel right, pay attention. If the hairs on the back of your neck prickle, if your gut clenches up, if a wave of wrongness washes over you, if your heart starts beating faster, pay, pay, pay attention.

If it is all these things, the question of whether it is a legitimate use of time should not even arise.”

“There were three options [in Allied], which were for [Bred Pitt] to shoot [Marion Cotillard], for them to escape, or for her to pull the trigger, which is a heroic act to spare him. When I was thinking about how it would end, a long time ago, I think I tried each of them to see, but two of them did not work.”
