It was a challenge, to work with Oliver Stone.

It's really been a challenge as we come to the end of the semester to work on this. We're real anxious to go do it. One of the challenges is we continue to function in our separate groups as well as our responsibilities as a band and with the Rose Bowl parade stuff as well.

I've had the great fortune to work with many great directors [and] great actors, and I just want to thank them.

Nobody makes movies like Oliver Stone.

I've become friends with Michael Mann and Oliver Stone; I've seen those guys work and that was great to see.

It's such a pleasant surprise when you come on set and you find someone in charge like Ken Branagh or James Ivory. You know that you're going to do a day's work and at the end of it, it's going to be good.
