Two things I'm trying to work on are openness and flexibility.

I felt that the biological clock was some myth to keep me from doing what I wanted to do. And so I rebelled against it in the '90s. I thought it was a backlasher, some sort of faulty data. But it's real. I'm glad I woke up before my body was just like 'uh-uh.

Cannes is a very strange place. I tried to show up as best I could and to try not to be cynical.

We need art. We've been telling stories since the beginning. As human beings, we need it for our survival.

There's been a slow death in a way. On the positive side, there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldn't have, but on the negative side, financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I can't count the ways a director's vision is compromised.

You can rest a lot in an hour or have a whole day and not do it properly. One way I get a quality recharge is to connect with nature. To experience something that's bigger than me.

It's tricky to say 'never,' but I will never have plastic surgery.
