I prefer to commit 100 per cent to a movie and make fewer films, because it takes over your life.

My kids are young and my life with them is really stimulating and really full and significant.

I want to be inspiring to myself, to my kids, my family, and my friends.

Just to set the record straight, a salary for a given on-screen performance does not include the right to invade anyone’s privacy, to destroy someone’s sense of self.

I suppose that's my one little secret, the secret of my success.

I'm not interested in being perfect when im older. Im interested in having a narrative. It's the narrative that's really the most beautiful thing about women.

If I make two movies my entire life, and they're two movies that - whether they make a lot of money or two people go to see them - they speak of me, then I consider them incredibly successful. I don't need to be Steven Spielberg.
