Obviously, I'm attracted to heavier movies.

I have a problem with a lot of men's fragrances because they are very strong. Somebody somewhere thinks that masculine means powerful smells, and I find them overbearing and not very pleasant.

Very often on films, even without a producer credit, I'll be involved, very early on. I want to be there as the thing is taking shape.

I actually really love working with young actors because they're so responsive and instinctive, and it's a much less honed craft that they're employing.

After writing a page, Hemingway would let it float to the ground. He never crumpled pages - he believed that if you crumpled them, you'd be insane in a year.

I'm just constantly trying to renew and give myself new challenges and push myself to uncomfortable places, trying to get better.

I can honestly say I've never chosen a film because where it's shot is convenient.
