Q & A: How Willimon Runs Fincher's 'House ...DiCaprio and Eastwood Talk J. Edgar in GQ Cover Story
The pair nearly finish each other's sentences as they talk politics, despite their purported divide--DiCaprio leans left and Eastwood has declared himself a social libertarian. For example, from Eastwood:
“These people who are making a big deal about gay marriage? I don’t give a fuck about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We’re making a big deal out of things we shouldn’t be making a deal out of…Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want.”
My introduction to acting in films was with De Niro in This Boy's Life. When I got the part I was 15, and somebody said, 'Do you realize who you're gonna work with?' I said, 'Yeah, I guess.' And they said, 'No, no, no. Go watch all of his films, and then go see these people's films.' So I obsessively watched films on VHS, and I remember feeling so overwhelmed by what had been done in cinema already. Watching a young Brando or James Dean or Montgomery Clift, I was like, Oh, my God, how can anyone ever hope to achieve that type of greatness?

Well, that's nothing Di Caprio need worry about, since it's something he'll never come close to achieving.

"I don’t give a fuck about...We’re making a big deal out of things we shouldn’t be making a deal out of…Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want.”, what a beautiful quote useful for many things. You rock Mr. Eastwood.
