I'm at Miramax now, where I've actually been treated like a Prince.

You know, I think everything I do cinematically for the rest of my life will probably have some direct route back to Jonathan. But I love him to death. He's like my best friend and my big brother.

There are a lot of films that are drug dramas, and we didn't want to tell Scarface again.

But my humble opinion is, I'm not quite sure where I stand on the legalization of drugs - though, if tequila is legal, pot should probably be legal.

Like a Pearl Harbor, they're going into their opening weekend knowing that they spent $110 million making this movie. That pressure must be enormous.

I think, on a larger note, that filmmakers and studios should start to tuck it in a little bit, because films wouldn't have the pressure they have if the word wasn't out about how expensive they were.

The older I get the more I realize there's no real good guys or real bad guys, and I'm curious about how the good guys got good and how the bad guys got bad.

What I think happens today is that a lot of filmmakers look at other films that are retro pieces, like L.A. Confidential, and say, oh, that's period. We didn't want to do the stereotypical stuff.

Uma is beautiful because she's traditionally knockout beautiful and accessible and funny and charming. She's a regular chick. She'll sit down at a bar and chat with you.

I was influenced by European movies, old Fellini, old Kurosawa - any sort of foreign film.

That's why I'm really trying to produce my own stuff. This film was so good, because I produced it myself, and developed it, and made it with New Line, which is a smaller studio, so I was in control of a lot of stuff that I wasn't in control of for my other films.

So no matter what I do, on any level there's always some Jonathanism that's in my blood which I'm very proud of and have no problem with.

The thing that's great about those guys at Miramax is the Weinstein brothers. They are the two funniest guys I've ever met in my life.

I mean look, the thing about movie making and criticism and producing movies now, everyone compares everything to something else.

But I have come firmly to believe that the punishment of drug offenders is really bad in our country. It's cockeyed.

I grew up in Long Island and went to school in upstate New York. Everyone gravitates towards big city characters. But I'm drawn towards antiheroes, not your normal kind of leading me.

When you do someone's life story, which I've never done, it weighs on you. You feel an added responsibility to get it right.

I tried to stick to my game plan, which was always being aware of what my A story was - the love story between a father and his son, and that son and his daughter.

And then we watched an amazing number of movies from the late '60s and '70s, which is my favorite time, and we studied their camera movements, their stocks, the way they lit stuff, the colors they used.

I felt that as long as we were being honest, and that we didn't bend the truth to accomplish another goal, to be entertaining or to be a happy ending, I was confident that we'd be able to tell the story the way it happened.
