Jude [Law] is really good at playing an obsessive. He has a very watchable quality when he's on a quest for something.

I'm always a little unnerved when I see a show that's set in the past that implies in any way that things were nicer then.

I find myself in situations a lot where I have to say to someone, "This can be better," and it's hard to say that.

You can create meaning where there was none, you can create feeling where there was none, you can create narrative where there was none. Two frames can be the difference between something that works and something that doesn't. It's fascinating.

Everybody, including me, has to submit to what it needs to be. The thing is at the top of the pyramid, the best version of the thing; we all have to serve that. You forget that at your own risk. And I think movies are too long, in general.

Maybe I'll paint, do photography, just something else. I can see that.

It's a world in which people's motives are questionable and shadowy.
