He paid a lot of dues to get where he is, and now there are a lot of doors open to him. The one he has chosen to walk through throws down a gauntlet. He has the good luck, the charm and the guts to do what he wants, and this film is what he chose to do. -David Strathairn

[The film is] relentless in its pace, ... You don't want to let [audiences] off the hook, where they can relax. You don't want to leave that room.

You kind of get pigeonholed for various reasons. One thing I didn't do in this movie (that) I regret not doing was taking a pratfall. I think, as great as Edward R. Murrow was, in terms of cinema, you've gotta honor those great clowns. -David Strathairn
