Bergman movies were the most influential. They used to show at Goucher University, which was where my parents used to live. ‘Brink of Life’ was the first one I ever saw. Three pregnant women in a maternity ward and their misery – I love that. That is what I want to show at my funeral.

I would say issues around human rights – either you’re going to take a hard stance, or you’re not. You can’t borrow money from China the way the U.S. has done and then turn around and say, ‘But you’ve got a human-rights problem.’ You can’t be half pregnant.

My wife and I left New York when she got pregnant – we just thought it would be really hard to stay in the city.
