If an actor or actress is recognizable, that changes our perception of them.

I had met Keanu [Reeves]a few times so it was a great way to reach out to him with an actual job offer. He very kindly agreed to be part of it and it was an amazing experience.

Abbey Lee was a very famous model and had great success. She was very open about the negative aspects of that industry.

I think that television has become really, really interesting, in terms of character development. You can have 13 hours to develop a character, as opposed to 25 minutes in a movie. That excites me.

Personally I kept my feelings out of it and created a fantasy. That's the process of going through this world being beautiful.

The power of art is as powerful as weapons of mass destruction; it's just where war destroys, art inspires. But in order to inspire, you need to react to it. And, if it doesn't penetrate your mind, you can't react to it.

I like doing the promotional work. It's part of the film's process. Cannes was very wonderful to premiere.
