I consider it a great honour that my movie Drive inspired so many wonderful artists to come together and create one ultra-cool glam experience.

Nowadays, teenagers are so fast and quick to see through any form of manipulation. Sitting down and just thinking of something is like watching really bad pornography.

[Reanu Reeves] is a very imaginative actor. He can have this wonderful balance of humor and fear. He's got these skills to be entertaining but also quite terrifying.

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