I never was that boy who loved gangster films, but when I was growing up, I was obsessed with the detective Dick Tracy. It was one of my favourite movies as a kid, and he really inspired me. I would have loved to be part of that golden age of Hollywood in the 1940s. It made me want to become an actor.

Sometimes I think that the one thing I love most about being an adult is the right to buy candy whenever and wherever I want.

You can't make a movie for everybody. You can't go into it trying to alienate people, but you have to assume that you're going to.

For me, I sort of felt like it was kind of a fairytale... but an interesting one. I don't know of anybody who has had a romance quite like this, but I certainly know people who have stuck it out.

You know us crazy kids. We'll do anything crazy to our hair.

Women aren't interested in being sexy any more and men are. All the guys have objectified themselves and sexualised themselves into being just matinee idols.

I try not to discriminate against genres.
