I've made movies that were adaptations and I've been kind of frustrated by the process because, you know that old axiom, 'It's never as good as the book'? It's often true because nothing competes with your own imagination. When you're reading a book and you imagine something in your head, nothing's going to compete with that.

I've always been a private person and I've always valued my private life.

I do not hope somebody breaks in. However, if they did, I pity them. I pity the fool that breaks into my house.

The feminist movement is often clouded with Gloria Steinem's perspective, but I feel like denying women their sexuality is just as chauvinistic.

I don't want to play into the perception that all women should look like fourteen year old boys. I don't want to add to that pressure for young girls. But in Hollywood, there is a constant pressure to look a certain way.

When you can find a strong character and a director that does want to protect the integrity of all characters, female and male, then you have a good deal.

I get tickets all the time and can't stay under the speed limit. I'm bad at that.
