I Tend To Not Have To Handle

Michael Mann's Always Been One Of My Heroes.

I'm Pretty Upfront About My Love And Admiration For The Military. One Of The Perks Of Making Movies Is That You Get To Sort Of Follow Your Own Passions, And I Believe Quite Passionately That We Don't Pay Enough Attention And Respect To Our Veterans. Not Just Our Wounded Veterans, But All Veterans.

Be Really Picky With Your Hiring, And Hire The Absolute Best People You Possibly Can. People Are The Most Important Component Of Almost Every Business, And Attracting The Best Talent Possible Is Going To Make A Huge Difference.

I Tend To Not Have To Handle Things That Are Probably Gonna End Up Being Irrelevant, That Aren't Gonna Have Much To Do With The Film. I Have Probably A Better Understanding Of Really What Does Matter, When To Pick My Battles And When To Kind Of Let Them Go.

I Did Not Want 'battleship' To Be Perceived As An American War Film. I Wanted To Do Everything I Could To Make The Film Accessible To A Global Audience. It Felt Like Bringing An Alien Component To The Film Would Help Take The American Jingoism Out Of It.
