My favorite part of the whole filmmaking process is working with a fantastic cinematographer, a fantastic actor or actors, and then just creating emotions and stories. I get so excited by that. That's the part I'm utterly addicted to.

I love karaoke. I love maudlin country ballads. In another life I'd be Loretta Lynn.

Sorry, there's nothing like a screaming baby to make a mother twitch.

Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors of our age; he's like Olivier. He's one of those people who can take you into a place where no one else can take you.

I seize all opportunities with two hands. Everything that's happened to me has taught me to live in the moment as much as possible.

I hate rats. I had a pet rat to try and overcome it. I even gave him mouth-to mouth resuscitation when he had a heart attack. But I couldn't conquer it.

I've always lived my life fearlessly, and what I want to do with my life, I do.
