I was very careful to cast guys who were very good-looking and very fit and who had a certain sense of privilege about them, because with that sense of privilege comes contempt.

Everyone has a little bit of Howard and Chad in them. I think there's Christine in all men as well.

I'm more than open to hope, but I think men and women have a difficult time dealing with each other and often take the low road.

Movies are - all I've found is that they're just tougher and tougher to make.

I see bits and pieces of me in all the characters in my films.

I think the more the actor lets you know what he thinks of the character, the less the audience cares - like a comedian who laughs at his own jokes.

I think Christine and Chad are on the opposite extremes of the spectrum. Christine is a model victim, and Chad is a model perpetrator, and Howard is closer to the middle.
