It's very easy for a couple to experience joy together. But when you experience pain together, it can lead to such depth and such union. That is when you fuse.

I believe the experiences of life are more important than any film you make.

If you take care of the woman in the family, the whole family prospers. But when the mother falters, the family falls apart.

Happiness, that's obviously different for everybody, but what I call my joy, the thing that makes me feel incredibly satiated, is my family, and then I get to go and play out all of my ideas and feelings through all these different characters.

I want to go home at night and feel discomfort.

There are moments when you feel as if you have been blessed for a while, moments when you think this is perfect, moments when you start to believe that even for an hour, even for a year, it might all happen. So I'm determined to keep making it get better and better.

I'll put it out there: I love getting hugs.
