I make movies about people in spiritual crisis because it's a way for me to spend the time, the energy, the focus and the obsession to come to terms with my own spiritual crisis.

As time goes on, I will play characters who get older: I don't want to be some Botoxed weirdo.

Privacy above all else. Some day, in the future, people will look back and remember how beautiful it once was.

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.

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

'Taxi Driver' was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I didn't become a weirdo and squawk like a chicken.

But now I really don't want to work unless I really, really care about a project.
