I was terrible at maths, but I could grasp science, and I used to love to read about the lives of the scientists. I wanted to be a scientist or an inventor.

That's part of the requirement for me to be an artist is that you're trying to share your personal existence with others and trying to illuminate modern life, trying to understand life.

So give yourself that chance to put together the 80, 90 pages of a draft and then read it very in a nice little ceremony, where you're comfortable, and you read it and make good notes on it, what you liked, what touched you, what moved you, what's a possible way, and then you go about on a rewrite.

The photographer and the director are where reality and fantasy meet.

Art depends on luck and talent.

I was raised as a Catholic, but I didn't like the Catholic Church at all. I thought the nuns were mean.

I had a number of teachers who hated me. I didn't do well in school.
