Doug Liman

To be a lone filmmaker thousands of miles from home with nobody believing in me, that seems romantic.

'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' - every scene is from those characters' point of view. They're in literally every scene, very unusual in a big studio film.

My films are very rooted in specific people's point of view. Some film-makers give a more global point of view, like God looking down at the characters.

We're rapidly entering a world where everything can be monitored and measured. But the big problem is going to be the ability of humans to use, analyze and make sense of the data.

A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.
