Failure's a natural part of life.

The projects I look for to produce or direct would not be ones in which I would want to act.

I am inspired by the appearance of a bohemian of the new millennium.

I know I have a fairly strong feminine side. I find myself really distanced from male behavior.

There are many, many benefits to being known for whatever it is you do. To deny that would be sort of asinine and vulgar.

I was a very good baseball player and football player as a kid, but my father always told me - occasionally while striking me - that I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. And I think there's great truth in that.

Films take too long. There's too much BS, too much nonsense. If I want to do a play, I just call the theater, whether it's here, or in Paris or Mexico or Spain or London or whatever, and say, "I want to do this, are you interested?" They'll answer the next day. With a movie, it's all, "Oh, I see this film as blah blah blah." They don't know what you're talking about, they don't care.
