I love actors who are wonderful - like John Cusack and Russell Crowe, and wouldn't it be a treat to eventually direct them one day.

Maybe they say they do but I don't think many actors really enjoy trying to do a Shakespearean play.

Just believe in yourself and to find spirituality that’s going to carry you. Because all the rest is just fluff.

I think you have to have different tools for each job - you know producer is very different from a director and very different from an actor.

I think the joy of wanting to direct is having that nervous anxiety knowing your film is about to be shown and you're sitting right there with everyone.

We are always just trying to be strong and yet in touch with our bodies and the only way you can really do that is to believe in yourself because that’s all that you have.

I hope that my work makes a difference because I think that's why I do it.
