I'm not certain, but I have a little gypsy blood in me. And my mother always told me that her grandma could give someone the evil eye, and I'd better not cross her because she had some of that blood in her. Mother always believed that she could predict the future, and she had dreams that came true.

I'm too obsessed that the people who say critical things about me are right, even though I'm getting to do something I love.

Every filmmaker knows that when you make a book into a movie, the first thing you have to do is kill the book, unfortunately. You've got to recreate it.

I don't like shows, I don't like to put on a show, I just really want to work intimately with my actors.

I think in every picture that I've ever made. Everything that I've done torments me. I really would like another chance except I'd be too embarrassed to ever really try to do them again and no one would want to see the same movie just done differently.

You know, I put my little brother in the movies and he's still in the pictures. My mother makes me put him in the pictures.

If a remake is not good, no one wants to see it and, again, it doesn't hurt the original.
