I think I have a real interest in filmmaking, and it's nice when I can go and do that sometimes. Then it's also great to not do it and not have the responsibility .

I think good filmmaking is when you really hold the mirror up truthfully, and you don't angle it and you don't hide things with smoke and mirrors.

I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe.

[If you want to] ask the question what is beautiful? It's the life that you lead. It's the life that all women lead.

I've never been driven by box office.

've had good friends who got married after they've been together for years and they've said that it was the "next step" for them. Or, they've said, "You just can't bail out anymore." And I've wondered, What made you think you could just bail out before [the wedding]? You don't invest that kind of time and energy with somebody and then just go, "All right, see you later."

I don't really watch a lot of television, and I would watch mindless, mindless television.
