I don't have incredible knowledge about films or of filmmaking history; I'm not that kind of person.
There's a few in our history, where the person who creates it becomes almost the product itself. Jobs is one of those.
I'm also fascinated by the interplay between personal history and the larger forces that form the context for our lives.
It becomes more necessary to see the truth as it is if you realize that the only vehicle for change are these people who have lost their personality.
'Cars' is a really personal story for me because, first of all, I grew up in Los Angeles - the car crazy capital.
You don't want to engage in road rage when the person in the next car might be your child's future teacher or your dentist's father.

The great thing about acting is that you get to be a lot of different things in one lifetime. You get to explore different personalities and characters.
The key is working with great directors. A film is so many different people and all their talents, but particularly the directors, because of the idiosyncrasies of that person.
Our all-volunteer force continues to prove itself with a great level of professionalism, personal commitment and a technical competence that is quite remarkable.
No great television show has ever rested on just one person. They're all about great ensembles and storytelling.
