On 'Stranger Than Fiction,' the script was so good that I stuck to every line because it was just such brilliant writing from Zach Helm that I felt like I really just want to shoot the page.
Three days after my brother died, my father was in the hospital. He just did not want to live anymore. Before, he was fighting and loving life.
For me, 'The Kite Runner' became about a guy who's emotionally shut down because he hasn't confronted his past.
The key thing is that you start every film from sort of a blank page, almost like you discover it like a child discovers a new world.
