Staying together is a challenge. We all have to accept qualities in other people that aren't always exactly what we want or need.

I am in an age group where it is rude to discuss money, and now it is all anyone cares about.

I love working with women directors. They don't mind making you cute.

There has long been a bemoaning of the lack of opportunity to make films that are anything but explosions or the ladling on the pea soup or whatever you want to call it. You can hardly make a movie today where somebody isn't a murderer or a rapist or, if it's a "Fried Green Tomatoes" that isn't some wistful thing on this, that or the other thing.

Decent people shouldn't live here. They'd be happier some place else.

My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.

There are major influences on us that people are not aware of. There are big lies that nobody's willing to discuss.
