The freakiest thing about working on a Russo set is that the standards are so insanely high for everyone in every department that they don’t police you through stuff.

They seek our state secrets, our trade secrets, our technology, and our ideas – things of incredible value to all of us. They seek to strike our critical infrastructure and to harm our economy.
We should say to private employers, if you knowingly hire illegal immigrants, there’s going to be a consequence. I underline the word ‘knowingly.’ And you make available a system like E-Verify.

I’m never going to sub-contract out jobs for offense and defense. I’m always going to hire people I believe in – and are going to do things our way, that are going to believe in process, that are going to be part of a program.
I auditioned for a movie recently, and when I went in, the producer said he’d told one of its stars, Naomi Watts, that he was auditioning me, and she’d said, ‘She’s so funny; she’s a great actress – you should hire her.’ What a lovely, kind, and supportive thing to do for another woman.

My favorite thing to do is rip the covers off a script when reading for writers to hire and make everybody read without names on the covers of the script.
