I have been advocating for a long time that the Export Import Bank shouldn't be for one or two companies, and that's what it's for, basically.

I do not like government-sponsored enterprises.
If things go right, maybe I'll chair the Appropriations Committee.
I think you have to be concerned about any presidential executive order because it has the power of law until it's knocked down by an act of Congress or a court.
Even some of my Republican friends say I have a populist, progressive streak. I am not a doctrinaire, anti-government person.
If I was courting the Muslim vote, I wouldn't have put establishing the partnership ceremony at the forefront of my first term, would I? I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights.
Our films have to entertain without the viewer being guided to a humdrum set of do's and don't's. At the same time, as a filmmaker, my films should evoke some feelings, some thoughts in their minds. That's the purpose of cinema. It has to be a learning experience without advocating rights or wrongs in a subtle manner.
I have spent my entire career advocating for free-market economic policies, trying to convince the leaders of this country that unnecessary government interference in the market-place - and let's face it, most government is totally unnecessary - destroys liberty and inhibits prosperity.
I'm part of the consumer culture... I'm just using the space I am given to express something that is out of the space so I'm part of the consumer system but I'm advocating stepping out. Which is a contradiction but I could be part of he consumer system and say, 'let's consume even more.'
