I just want to tell stories that have an impact on people. Somebody needs to have an impact because people are lost. People are really lost.

I hate plastic surgery. I have a horror of any kind of knife. I don't like it.

I think there's a knowingness in my face.

When I was very young I wanted to be a professional horseback rider. Then I wanted to be a pop singer. Then I wanted to be a psychiatrist. Then I wanted to be a movie director.
