"It happens to be a point of view I love. This is what attracted me to the story — the difficulty of being an individual today. Life gets more and more complex and convoluted. Young people are not happy with what's going on — and they're right. The character in Lonely Are the Brave had that quality. He didn't want to belong to this day and age. It's difficult to buck the system. That's the tragedy of it."
