I don't have a favorite director just like I don't have a favorite color or I don't have a favorite food. I like everything.

I have a lot to say about the world, clearly. I can't put together a clear sentence about it all, but through the work I can say what I think.

I think that we pay much more attention to fashion and our hair, skin and foreheads, our abdominal muscles and shoes than what is happening in the world. We willingly take that 'drug' and go along with that.

Some people are filled by compassion and a desire to do good, and some simply don't think anything's going to make a difference.

For young women, I would say don't worry so much about your weight. Girls spend way too much time thinking about that, and there are better things. For young men, and women, too, what makes you different or weird-that's your strength. Everyone tries to look a cookie-cutter kind of way, and actually the people who look different are the ones who get picked up. I used to hate my nose. Now I don't. It's OK.

There's no road map on how to raise a family: it's always an enormous negotiation.

I just take every day is a miracle and I'm really glad that I'm still working and that people are not sick of me, even though even I'm sick of me a little bit.
