Every child is different. Every child responds in a different way.

In film, we sculpt time, we sculpt behavior and we sculpt light.

I do agree you can't just make movies three hours long for no apparent reason. For a romantic comedy to be three hours long, that's longer than most marriages.

We live in a silly time, and people go to the movies to see something that they haven't seen before, and you have to promise to show them that. In a horrible way, you have to promise them a special effect.

Entertainment has to come hand in hand with a little bit of medicine. Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything's okay. I don't make those kinds of movies. That, to me, is a lie. Everything's not okay.

Hire the right people and get the hell out of the way.

I always say everyone was lucky enough to be in a Cate Blanchett movie.
