I'm extemely competitive, so when people start counting me out or trying to categorise me, I sorta get hungry.

I believe in fate, that films happen when they are supposed to.

I think that I just need to work with great directors and actors, people who are better than me, so that I am challenged.

Sometimes I live in fear. But when I have to take chances about people I love, relationships, my daughter and immediate family, those decisions are easy.

I'm not affected by violence the way some people are. I don't know why, but I enjoy that intensity.

I hope I'm in a position to make stuff that I really want to make as opposed to stuff that I just have to make for money reasons, or to sustain a certain marquee value.

I'm not afraid of anything. That's just the way I am.
