Any man worth his salt loves a feminist. Only men who are afraid of the feminine in themselves are afraid of women.

Having spent a lot of time trying to figure out screenwriting, I do feel moved and I want to try to write good roles for women of every age.

I always feel like the editing room is like coming into the kitchen. What kind of a meal do you make from there? It can be anything.

It seems to be this hot-bed for these ideas and bringing these groups together. You find that the one thing that everybody has in common, whether they're a teenager who has run away from his parents, or a divorcee who lost her husband, is that they all have in common this feeling of searching for a meaning in their lives.

A whole film is just about arriving at a moment where you hopefully transfer some feeling to the audience.

Life and death and birth is this fantastic mystery that we cannot fully grasp.

I feel like, when the audience connects with something, they enjoy the experience so much that they want other people to go have it. They're like, "Don't talk about it. Don't tell. Just go!" It's a nice feeling to have people coming around it that way, protecting the ideas in it, so that everyone can see it for themselves.
