I like working with actresses, and I like women a lot, not for obvious reasons, but just in that that theres so much about what they bring to the scene that keeps it so interesting. Their instincts are so different, and they never explain them to you.

I went through puberty in a theme park. I'm grateful. That place was a landscape to me. I had adventures every day.

It's not good just to have life experience of film-making and that's all. It's hard to play a real person when you've been in jets and town cars for three years.

I've been doing this since I was 12... I don't want to act much longer; I can't do one thing my whole life.

The theme for me is love and the lack of it. We all want that and we don't know how to get it, and everything we do is some kind of attempt to capture it for ourselves.

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.

I dont feel like I would be a good mentor. I dont know what I have to offer in that respect. I do this for pretty selfish reasons.
