Even if we don't know it or aren't aware of it, politics and philosophy are really what make our up lives.

I don't really say much about reviewers. It's a very tough job to get all of the depth of a movie all at once.

I'm not a very serious person. You know how they say that clowns are very funny in public and are really sad at home? I'm really kind of stupid at home and more serious in public.

Good directing is about getting the performance to be just what's right for the movie.

I think the job of movie reviewing can be really tough. If a film has layers that need to be thought about, it's easy to get missed the first time around.

I began to feel that, in a sense, we were all prisoners of our own history.

Conventionally, one looks at history as something of the past. But after Einstein, who knows what is in the past and what is in the present?
