It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married, stay married, fall in love, how to rekindle all this stuff. It seems to me to be a pretty eternal theme so I don't know if you can get typecast from making movies about men relating to women. It seems to be what is going on on the planet a lot.

I never really saw myself as an activist but at some point the activist is the only moral position to take.

People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that.

I think when you get to the point where you don't need to be in love, then you could be in love. You have to just be OK with yourself-and that's a long process.

I remember the '80s being about the Cold War and Reagan and the homeless problem and AIDS. To me, it was kind of a dark, depressing time.

The British keep employing me, and that makes me like them. It also makes me think they're very intelligent.

In the United States, we can talk about ISIS, but we can't talk about Palestine.
