I do find walking is fundamental to my creative process.

I feel funny about owning art. I don't really want to say: "Wow, come and see my Monet - it's in a dark room at the bottom of my cellar."

There's a whole system in Hollywood where the director never speaks to the studio, but I like to engage them in a discussion. I listen.

Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.

One of my great all-time loves in cinema, and I've seen it three times, is Bondarchuk's 'War and Peace.' Not a lot of people may have seen that film. It was made during the Soviet era.

In the '80s, everyone wanted to be in opera. It was groovy.

I always have a point of view. It may not be right, but it's my own.
