If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up.

War is so complex; human nature is so complex. There's no filmmaker who has ever figured it out perfectly.

I love doing lesbian love scenes. Before I did my lesbian scenes in Gia, I talked to actresses who said love scenes are easier with another woman than a man. Bound's Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly said they'd lie there and discuss the sale at Barney's between takes.

Everyone got kind of crazy with me mentioning I was in love with a woman.

I think that we come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. Raise kids. Have a good life. Be a good friend. And try to be completely who you are.

I believe the only people that should be around a child and raising a child are people who absolutely, 100 percent love that child

I think we should try to be responsible and educate ourselves. I'm simply doing that and traveling, learning first hand, and seeing first hand what's going on.
