As a kid, when I got to the edge of a cliff I wanted to jump off. I didn't want to kill myself. I wanted to fly.

Of course [I believe in aliens]. Are you so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?

I've never made a film that I didn't believe in, you know? However the picture turns out, I've always given everything to it. That's kind of how I approach life. I can't help it. There's no part-way with me on anything in any area of my life.

Whether it's making a film or raising my children, personally I'm striving to do the right things and to learn.

But my friends are happy for me. The people who know me are happy. My mom is happy. My family is happy.

I'm not greedy. I just want my half.

I love kids. I was a kid myself, once.
