When you become a parent, you finally appreciate and understand what your mother did.

I was lucky enough to come in at the beginning of the independent film movement, and it's really shaped my life and my career.

When the computer and tablets are all about playing games, thats not interesting to me.

Apart from anything else, I got to work with Jennifer Lawrence. She’s a lovely girl. I know people often say things like that in interviews, but she really is. While she may be young, she doesn’t feel at all precocious. Instead, she’s smart and funny and terrific at connecting with people. She just blew me away.

I've always wanted to go where the work was or where I was wanted. The idea that it can be planned is one I let go of a long time ago.

Art is an expression of who we are, what we believe, and what we dream about.

I do Ashtanga yoga three times a week, and I run a couple of times a week, too. I really like yoga; I enjoy the actual doing of it, so it doesn't feel like the agony of the gym felt like to me.
