I try not to be overly analytical.

For me, I don't even like to promote my films but I have to because it's in the fine print of my contract.

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

Independent films have a very different cachet than success films.

I think that anybody that smiles automatically looks better.

I've always had this unresolved desire to prove that I could get a Ph.D., or contribute something else to the world.

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.
