You have to fight unhappiness like a dragon with fire and breathe.

I try to make movies that I would want to go see rather than ones I would just want to do as an actor. I want people to have movies full of romance and hope and empowerment, something they can escape into and feel good about. I love happy endings.

Oh, I love hugging. I wish I was an octopus, so I could hug 10 people at a time!

I pray to be like the ocean, with soft currents, maybe waves at times. More and more, I want the consistency rather than the highs and the lows.

I love Tate Modern; there's such great style and shopping here. I love the galleries and the pubs out on the street, just having your pint as the sun is setting.

I feel like I came out of the womb and was punted - there you go, out in the world!

Once you've been in a mental institution, people are going to look at you funny.
