Happy Birthday: James Mangold

James Mangold

Born: December 16, 1963 in New York City, New York, USA

We should be writing more great roles for women, period. Another problem is that movies are generally made for 14-year-old boys and 14-year-old boys want to watch 25-year-old action heroes.

[on Joaquin Phoenix] The boundary between real life and acting is hard to find. Working with him day to day you really feel for him, because he’s either hitting it out of the park or struggling to find the ball. Another actor can be having a bad day, but he can reach into his bag of tricks and fake his way through. Joaq can never fake his way through.
