Film is a very young art that is still evolving. Soon, we shall reach a balance between content and technology.
I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.
I always try to keep that feeling of being on the edge. I'm afraid of knowing too well and seeming mechanical.
I choose my roles carefully.
I don't see any reason for marriage when there is divorce.

Sex is a big question mark. It is something people will talk about forever.
