“I'm the guy that has written at great length about exactly how we should profoundly reform Social Security. If I were afraid of going after entitlements, I wouldn't have done that, I wouldn't have put Medicaid reform in this budget, I wouldn't have called for the reductions in spending, which people will scream about, but I think are necessary.”

“I think it's the broadest source of dissatisfaction amongst Republicans, out-of-control spending.”

“If you don't get spending under control, eventually you're going to have a big tax increase.”

“I've worked on really big budget movies as a designer - 'Vanilla Sky,' 'Three Kings;' I've been in that world, and you can just see people get nervous.”

“I, for one, believe that revenue has to increase. I think every American would pay more if they thought spending was going to be cut and the budget brought to balance.”

“In a movie, you have to be mindful that no budget is going to be able to deal with running around the globe at every whim of the writer.”
