I am a huge Leonard Cohen person.

Every movie I make I find kind of excruciating. I get a lot back from it, but I feel like I'm kind of always working at the edge of my ability. I guess that's what I'm looking for when I go to work. I am trying to become the edge.

Because whatever I feel inside, it has a place to go. It just saves me over and over and over again.

The idea that you can get everything you want in one person is destructive, and maybe when you accept that the number is closer to 50 or 60 or 70 percent, that's when you can start to make some progress in choosing the right person.

I'm not going to rush anything and scamper around like a mad person and make myself crazy.

An interview is like a minefield.

I was born with a fierce need for independence.
