But, you know, I'm sorry, I think democracy requires participation. I mean, I don't want to proselytize but I do feel some sort of duty to participate in the process in some way other than just blindly getting behind a political party. ↗

I love these movies where it's just about the film. You don't have my face on the poster. It's all about the movie. I like that. ↗

It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married, stay married, fall in love, how to rekindle all this stuff. It seems to me to be a pretty eternal theme so I don't know if you can get typecast from making movies about men relating to women. It seems to be what is going on on the planet a lot. ↗

Most movies, once the action starts there's no more characters. You say a couple of dumb lines and then there's just explosions until the end. ↗

The film is not a success until it makes money. It's only good when there's a dollar figure attached to the box office. ↗

The movies have got more corporate, they're making fewer movies in general, and those they are making are all $200-$300m tent-pole releases that eat up all the oxygen. ↗

For true downtime, I enjoy going for light runs, having drinks with friends and going to the movies with my husband. ↗

No, we have our ups and downs, but we're all very up at the moment. ↗
