I don't have too much time to jam with the rest of Hollywood.

Well, Thanksgiving we'll all gather at my house for dinner and we usually do Christmas at Beau's house. My mom is still feisty and kicking. She's 92. I saw her last night and she published a book at 90. It's a wonderful book called "You Caught Me Kissing" and it's basically love-poems that she wrote for my dad. It's more than that, it's a wonderful book.

I think it would really be more like 10 films before I locked in and said, "Yeah, I'm really gonna do this thing."

I remember being on a black-and-white set all day and then going out into daylight and being amazed by the colour.

I have no lucky charm. I am 100 percent superstition-free, and I take nothing for granted.

It's like that perfection thing, trying to be that thing you're not. You have to feel that discomfort and not try to get rid of it. Accept that aspect and get into it. Acknowledge those feelings and let them be. You are who you are.

I've worked with a lot of first-time directors who kind of look to me for ideas and opinions and stuff, and I'm a team player.
