It took me a long time to film the plastic bag, and then I had to get the cut of the scene right. But if you find it as beautiful as the character does, then suddenly it becomes a different movie, and so did he as a character. - Sam Mendes Quotes
Its a risk casting anyone against type or what theyre known to do. But theres one thing better than having a great actor, which is having a great actor whos never done what youre asking him to do. Hes hungry to get out of the trailer every day and hungry to test himself. - Sam Mendes Quotes
