Film is a collective experience, as you know.

It's always interesting to play people different from yourself, it would be boring for me to play myself.

You mustn't regret decisions that you make. Because the decisions are made out of your gut in a way and you have to stick with them.

When you spend your life acting and being other people, as opposed to being the one person that you are, you learn that life is gray sometimes, not black and white. That what you thought was true isn't necessarily true if you switch sides.

Reading a novel of a private experience, very, very different, the nature of it is very different.

I make films, and I hope that people come to see them. If they don't, I pay a big price. But I can't make decisions where I would change my own standards or my own taste in order to court the public in some way.

Every single art form is involved in film, in a way.
