I love westerns. John Ford is one of the 10 best directors.

Googling yourself is maybe one of the worst things you can do. I did it once, and someone had to talk me off a ledge.

If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.

That's an aspect of this business which can be very frustrating and aggravating. Most of what is written about you is wrong and so much of what does get printed is often about personal things that you don't want to have other people read about.

I don't believe I am influencing anybody but myself.

My parents were great in the sense that they treated me like a human being when I was growing up. They showed me how beautiful things can be and how ugly they can be.

It would be great if teenagers could make movies. It's sad how some writers think they can write about stuff they don't understand.
