I am a strong believer that without justice, there is no peace. No lasting peace, anyway.

I prefer directing to acting. There is huge freedom that comes from being behind the camera. It brings a lot of responsibilities as well, but is intensely rewarding. Particularly the chance to help draw out the best in young actors.

I wish I could find people who just would fight me and break through to me and hold me down and scream their life into my face.

It's been a lifetime ambition of mine to play an 007 villain.

Anytime I feel lost, I pull out a map and stare. I stare until I have reminded myself that life is a giant adventure, so much to do, to see.

When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire.

I've been reckless, but I'm not a rebel without a cause.
