Modern cars I don't like so much.

I grew up just outside of Austin, and my upbringing was fairly rural.

Many states have laws against cousin marriage, which I think are ridiculous - people should be allowed to make that choice.

Strength and independence are always something that I'm drawn to in all my characters, no matter how different they are from one another.

I'm not opposed to nude scenes, if they're appropriate. I'm not against them morally. But I personally no longer find movie nudity to be worth my while.

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 don't feel like millions of people are wrong because they love who they love or they were born how they were born.
