The kindest word to describe my performance in school was Sloth.

Failures are inevitable. Unfortunately, in film they live for ever and they're 40 ft wide and 20 ft high.

[In relationships with a directors] I want to be able to give and take, and I can't name what it is: respect, energy, investment in the task, focus, humor, intelligence, but I always feel responsible for taking the money.

Behind every great man is a woman. Telling him he's not so hot.

If people recognize me when I'm out in public, I'm very nice to them. I'm very nice to people even when they don't recognize me. I don't even mind if people come up to me while I'm eating dinner, but if they recognize me while I'm having sex, I refuse to sign autographs.

When I met scientists, I found them to be as various as any other group of people.

To me, success is choice and opportunity.
