I've always felt protected. That's the God's honest truth.

It's very important to transcend places that hold us.

I'm not a film buff. I don't watch a lot of movies.

I actually don't hang out with any celebrities. My closest friends are old friends. And my real close friends, none of them are actors.

There are films that I don't like, and then someone will come up to me and say it's their favorite movie. The movies belong to the people. You make them and you put them out. For me, I love the process of making films. For me, my favorite film is always my next one.

Money doesn't buy happiness. Some people say it's a heck of a down payment, though.

Viola [Davis] is one of the great actors of her generation. She has one of these moments in the theater that I don't even know how to describe.
