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

I will always love psychology, and the basis of psychology is family.

I like to be in a different place when I make a movie so that I can't really focus on anything else, and that is your world.

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

When I went home, my family became a little lonely family because it was just me and my mom. Part of my longing to go back to work was wanting to be surrounded by these people who were teaching me things and drinking bad coffee at three in the morning while we were lying around in a bikini in the winter. Somehow it just felt like real life. It felt more like real life than my life.

Part of me longs to do a job where there's not a gray area.

How could you ask me to believe in God when there's absolutely no evidence that I can see? I do believe in the beauty and the awe-inspiring mystery of the science that's out there that we haven't discovered yet, that there are scientific explanations for phenomena that we call mystical because we don't know any better.
