Elle Fanning was fifteen when we started [The Neon Demon]. She turned seventeen during the shoot. Four weeks before Cannes, she turned eighteen. She had her prom at Cannes.

You know the one I want to do? I want to make Batgirl.

I feel Amazon is really bringing films into the future. So for me it was the best of both worlds.

I never desired to really go to Hollywood and make films, and purely because I want my entire control, which I'm used to having.

When we met, my agenda was "Get Elle Fanning." I believe Elle's was "Get the role." But we didn't know that.

Good and bad, what's good and bad? I don't know.

I just think it was time [in THe Neon Demon]to do a film about women. But not just women, I wanted to do a movie about a teenage girl. It was a great counter to the masculinity of "Drive."
