As an actor, I'm attracted to drama; as a director, it's humor - because it's the story of my life, and I can't be that serious about it. Being alone is a big theme in all my movies, both as a director and as an actress.

What I didn't realize is how completely consumed I would be by my sons. I didn't know that the rest of my life would become so little a priority.

Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock do romantic comedies. I do dark dramas. I do these movies well.

I wish people could get over the hang-up of subtitles, although at the same time, you know, that's kind of why I'm kind of pro dubbing.

There are lots of futurists that spend their whole life trying to figure out who we're going to be in 40, 50, 60, 100 years. That's the great thing about science fiction.

I saw leaving college as an opportunity to do something different with my life. I always thought that becoming an academic was going to be my path.

Casting is a long process for me. I take a lot of time.
