It's a movie about warriors in search of a war - about what it's like to be part of a well-trained, specialized Marine unit that gears up psychologically and physically for battle and then doesn't fight.

Everyone has their own opinion about what this country is doing. Personally, I wish we hadn't gone to Iraq.

He just talked about religion in a way that I could hear. It's one thing to have your parents tell you about faith, but to hear it from someone who isn't apparently emotionally vested in you is special.

I've never acted with someone who I knew so well before I started.

I get so happy to see someone like Jodie descend into absurdity and be human.

I don't care, really, whether the movie polarizes people, Republican, Democrat, ... I don't think it should. But what's more important to me is that I hope Marines get something out of it. I hope that they feel like we honored them, because we meant to.
