A relationship is sent by God and accident.

I enjoy making films, but my heart is in the stage. Every night you have to be on. There's no second take.

I think America becomes more disgruntled by going to the movies and having an endlessly good time at them.

There is a great relief in experiencing the worst vicariously.

My mother adores singing and plays piano. My uncle was a phenomenal pianist. My brother John is a double bassist. I used to play the piano, badly, and cello. My brother Peter played violin.

Also, an area that interests me - and it will probably take years to state what I mean - is the period of the rise of democracy, with Tom Paine, which is around the turn of the 18th century into the 19th.

The Americans are very clear, and obsessed with nouns.
