When it came to a lot of these German actors with the English, they just couldn't do it. They couldn't get the poetry out of it. They couldn't own it and make it their own. And then Christoph [Waltz] came in, and I didn't know who Christoph was.

I am not going to tell you how I believe, but I do believe in God.

If you want to make a movie, make it. Don't wait for a grant, don't wait for the perfect circumstances, just make it.
