I don't try to intellectualize characters too much. But I always think of the audience. I always make sure that my characters are likeable.

Sometimes I do yoga, sometimes it's kickboxing, sometimes it's weight training, sometimes it's Pilates.

I feel like movies should stick to a genre and give the audience what they want, and then surprise them with the unexpected, and not just do the same thing you've always seen.

Before, if your phone was busy, your phone was busy. You had no cell phone. Now people work 24/7, their BlackBerry keeps them busy, and e-mail - and when do they have time for other pursuits? When do they have time to be politically active?

The older I get, the more I accept and appreciate myself.

The deeper you dig, the bigger the possibility that something could happen.
