There's a conventional reaction when you see a star: You anticipate he'll be a part of a particular denouement down the road, so you don't worry for that character.

I thrive on production. It feels very much like a natural environment for me.

I'm drawn to filmmaking that can transport me. Film can immerse you, put you there.

I do have to say I have been very fortunate.

Character and emotionality don't always have to be relegated to quieter, more simple constructs.

The journey for women, no matter what venue it is - politics, business, film - it's, it's a long journey.

I don't want to be made pacified or made comfortable. I like stuff that gets your adrenaline going.
