I like the film camera better because the film is still one hundred times better than any digital image at the moment. So, there are certain movies that you can't really do digitally.

I am not against digital at all.

As an actor, Sean [Penn] is brilliant. And he's really an excellent director, as well. We got along really well.

For me, movies should be visual. If you want dialogue, you should read a book.

I love Woody Allen. He's very clever, always thinking, and he's great with actors. He lets actors do what they want to do and occasionally he'll give them a specific kind of direction.

I really like to work with people who know a lot, but they also give me space so I can add something to the movie.

I had never met Woody Allen before Melinda and Melinda. My agent knew the producer of the movie and he suggested that we would work well together and then we did. We had a great time on that film.
