I definitely think when I'm feeling super down or having tantrums or not able to participate in any activities, I have to control myself.

The big moment for me was making 'All the President's Men'. It was not about Watergate or President Nixon. I wanted to focus on something I thought not many people knew about: How do journalists get the story?
