I'm sure most of us remember being a kid and you have all of this endless time where two weeks before Christmas feels like ten years. I used to go to bed to try and go to sleep to try and make it go faster.

I never write with an actor in mind - never.

I don't think you can question your instinct; you should always trust it.

I've always loved America.

I was never that comfortable in front of the camera, it always terrified me.

I'm never going back to the past. It is like when I am driving - I never like to do those routes that take you backwards and make you go the long way. I always like to do the shortcuts and go forward.

Every time I start a film I feel like I'm starting the first time, ever.
