I don't have a dog, because I travel too much. I don't want to just leave it abandoned.

Jack Nicholson is a textbook actor who's very intuitive. He is absolutely brilliant at going as far as you can go, always pushing to the edge, but still making it seem real.

Johnny Depp is somebody I really love working with because he doesn't care how he looks. He wants to become weird characters and I like that.
