I'm not sure that it's easy to find very interesting female characters in Hollywood movies.

I'm very interested in people, in general.

This imposed her not as a decoration but as a real personality. She invented a new way of seductions through these clothes.

You have to have the essential pleasure of making a movie. It's such a huge factor and adventure for a director because you really are the leader and the captain.

When you decide to adapt some Russian novel, it's like everyone knows about it but nobody has read it.
