I've lived through deaths in my family and I've lived through separations in my family so those are the big ones. Those are the ones that press the biggest buttons in human beings' lives.

I did that film just so I could kiss Robert Redford.

A film based on a jolly good John Grisham book is fine, but I like to get a bit under the skin

European films were what it was about for me - the sensations I needed, the depth, the storytelling, the characters, the directors, and the freedom that you can't really find in American films

You can never really judge your work because once it's done, it's done.
