Love and respect are the most important aspects of parenting, and of all relationships.

Acting, for me, is exhausting. I'm always more energized by directing. It's more intense to direct. I can pop in and express myself, then pop out again. It's a huge passion for me.

I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.

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

I had to take my makeup off at work every night. I wasn't allowed to do it at home because my mom said that when your work day is done, you're done with work.

I also feel like I've learned over the years what is not important, and that is also great: to know what is pointless to spend your energy on, to be more specific.

I don't know if I see myself as really an action hero, but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.
