I think that directing is the ultimate martyred task of filmmaking, that it has nobility to it. It takes three years to make a film, for the most part. I think it requires the attentiveness of a mother hen. I don't know how people raise children and direct films. I'm sorry, I don't know, how can you be good at both?

You can't get work without working.

Sometimes I think opposable thumbs were invented so teenage girls could use text messaging.

It's always refreshing to step into another time.

You can only be a virgin once. There can only be one first time.

There is something wonderful about coming to terms with time - that it is finite. You want to have as much joy in your life as possible, and you take responsibility for your own joy.

Well, I can fake my way around some things, but I don't think I would be good at betting.
