I come from not just a household but a country where the finesse of language, well-balanced sentence, structure, syntax, these things are driven into us, and my parents, bless them, are great custodians of the English language.

I'm woefully one-track-minded.

I would wish for any one of my colleagues to have the experience of working with Martin Scorsese once in their lifetime.

I've been very lucky.

The more articulate somebody is, the more suspicious I am of them. I like to feel that the important things remain unsaid.

It's easy to love humanity when you're this far away from it.

There's nothing worse than finding yourself in a situation, a very demanding piece of work, and knowing that you're not a true ally to the person who's in charge of all that.
