Just in relation to women, it's not that huge an imaginative leap to see the connection between the Taliban and the Catholic Church.

There's a part of bohemia I love. The lack of prejudice, the lack of aggression, I love the lack, for the most part, of competitiveness. It's more peaceful.

I find the world more absurd now than I did when I was a kid.

Nine out of ten delinquents are frustrated actors.

I did 'Deathly Hallows' so my kids could get on the 'Harry Potter' set. They met Daniel Radcliffe, who was a darling and couldn't have been nicer to them so I'm a hero right now.

In bringing the subject of religious oppression to a wider audience, I didn't just want to kick the Catholic Church but to poke a finger in the throat of theocracy and to let it be known that people shouldn't tolerate this anymore.

The films that I really enjoy now are films that are made by, for wont of a better word, mavericks.
