After “Melancholia” and “On the Road,” I wanted to do a comedy. And I did so many comedies when I was younger, but if you’re not consistently in those movies, people don’t always think of you for them.

I've never had a teenage rebellion, I'm not that type of person. I always work out my problems in a conscientious way.

I've seen 'karma' slap people in the face. You have to be good to people. It really does come around.

I like people more undone than made up. Patricia Arquette is the ultimate. She's not anorexic or perfectly tan, she's not trying to be anything but what she is, and that's the most sexy thing.

My favourite food at the moment is Pasta, “with tons of shaved Parmesan on the side. Not crumbly but like the hunks, you know what I meanwhen you get the thin slices.

I think vegetarians - for a lot of them - it's about a lack of commitment to life and relationships. There are some who just like the fact that they're controlling something in their life.

And sometimes, you need your knight in shining armour.
