I always imagined that I would learn something each time that I would take to a new project, then I realized that each new project poses a completely different challenge.

I love going into a country and just blending.

I feel like this whole idea of wanting something that you don't really have is also very American in a way.

In L.A. you hear all these stories of people being filmed in their own homes through their windows. I think that is so scary.

In terms of romantic films, all-time romantic films, I really like 'Gone With the Wind.' And I realize I sound so cliched saying that, but there's something so absolutely romantic about it.

I'll never forget where I'm from. It's essential to remain humble and evolving.

I am very direct, to the point that I think I might make people uncomfortable! I do not know how not to be direct. I don't think there's time to waste.
