The last time I did anything like this [special powers] was with the Narnia film with two swords, the same but different.

I made The War Zone when I had just given birth to twins, and my post-partum frame was very much on display there.

For me, sex is a refraction of the thing about identity. In the sexual contact, which is usually - but not exclusively - between two people, you do retain separate people.

I have no problems with the NC-17 rating. I want more NC-17 films. More adult cinema!

I think that both Luca [ Guadagnino]and I have a kind of resistance to the idea of a film holding a moral message because that would exclude so many people from feeling that it was their film and it's important for a piece of work to feel owned by every member of the audience.

I'm very much drawn to these stories. This is a huge, great story [in Doctor Strange] about the possibility of living beyond everything, living beyond mortality, living beyond all the immortal confines, living beyond the planet as we know it. It's mind-blowingly no limits, and I think this is going to be something else.

I think that a real film fan experience is about a kind of omnivorous experience.
