I always choose my movie because of a director and a story and a, a character.

For me, it was a lot of pressure to make another movie after 'Inglourious Basterds' because I didn't want to do something wrong. I wanted to have a beautiful project for another American movie.

I love acting, but directing and writing have always been just as important. I started to write so many things when I was even a child. I wrote my first play when I was, like, seven years old. That was me - a writer - for years.

A good director has to be a captain - he has to work with a lot of people every day.

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.

It seems like the more you grow up the more you fear things.

I never took any theater lessons. So when I started to do movies, I was 14.
