I don't know what impression you might have of the way I live. I live in a quiet place. I do not live as a hermit, though other people would prefer it if I did.

When I did make the decision to focus on acting, I think my mother was just relieved for me that I had finally started to focus.

When it comes to parenthood everyone thinks they will be terrible at it. We don't think we have it in us. Then you find out that you do, which truly is a miracle in life.

I broke things to get attention.

I find it easier to work when it's quiet.

Film has become such a central part of our culture now that I think sometimes too great a weight is placed upon it in terms of scrutiny and analysis. There's a lot of rather specious professorial stuff that swirls around films.

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