I am the luckiest filmmaker I know.

I love the way L A. leaves you alone. I can go home, read all day, and nobody bugs me.

I love more than anything looking at a movie scene by scene and seeing the intention behind it.

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 absolutely love religions and the rituals. Even though I don't believe in God, we celebrate pretty much every religion in our family with the kids.

Everybody reads for me. I was never weird about that. I never minded coming in and reading. They should know if I'm the right person, and I should know if I want to do a movie.

I'd always need a creative outlet. But sometimes, I do fantasize what my life would be like if I weren't famous.
