If we never felt sorrow, we'd never recognize bliss.

I'd love to do a golf movie. I turned down Don Johnson's role in 'Tin Cup.' I regret that.

What I find is that we're all human beings and that it's all very similar, what we believe. At the bottom, there's really not that much difference between Christians and Muslims and Hindus and Buddhists. We all worship God.

For many years, I was obsessed about what I was eating, how many calories it had, and how much exercise I'd have to do.

Well, there's two things I have criteria for doing a film: The script, which is the story, and the filmmaker, and it's a filmmaker's medium. I like really strong directors, and so when I do a film, I'm out there to serve the director, really, which is in turn to serve the script, to serve the director cause he's the one making the film. I relied on Todd Haynes for that.
