I'm not big on sequels; I've done them, but I like doing little things that have their own timelessness to them, classic type things, and then you go onto something new.

The upper echelon of the movie industry is easier to deal with and the work is much easier to accomplish because of this generosity of spirit and confidence that they instill in the group around them.

If you're going to play a woman, you might as well play a woman that you liked, and someone sexy.

Misdirection. What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes.

I love watching old movies, and some of the holiday-themed ones are really great. I also have a bizarre thing that I'll do: I'll turn on a foreign-language TV station, usually Spanish, and watch a whole show, riveted, even though I have no idea what anyone is saying. I don't know why I find that so addictive, but I do!

I will direct one day, but I have a feeling that it will be very limited.

It's hard to make a cultural phenomenon every time.
