My kids are at the age now where they are both in school.
There's a kind of intensity that she has, and a real focus, ... I can glean from her personality that she's going to have a very long career and is going to be a very centered person. You just look at her and go, wow, this kid has really got it together, and it's just so nice to see.
Actors become actors because they loved entertaining their family by putting on the lampshade and dancing around as a kid, ... That's not my personality. For me, the fun part of making movies is seeing it as a director sees it. I like the architecture of movies. I like knowing what's coming and working to set that up.
I absolutely love religions and the rituals. Even though I don't believe in God, we celebrate pretty much every religion in our family with the kids.
There's absolutely no sort of acknowledgment or reward for this - except for the intangible of my kids growing up to be wonderful people.
I don't know why people think child actresses in particular are screwed up. I see kids everywhere who are totally bored. I've never been bored a day in my life.
I want to be inspiring to myself, to my kids, my family, and my friends.
My kids are young and my life with them is really stimulating and really full and significant.

I was one of those avid moviegoers as a kid, and we didn't have video, so we went to see everything five times. I went to see every foreign film playing in my town. As times went on, I watched a lot less films. I have a different film school now. My film school now is my life experience.
I stand to make more money doing that sequel than I've ever made in my life,
Anna changes. That's something that neither Deborah Kerr or Irene Dunne could do. They had to start off soft and stay that way. In our version, she's sort of tough and stubborn, but as time goes on she softens.
Each brings his prejudices to the table. At first, she thinks he's a heathen and a barbarian. Then, he reminds her that her native England has invaded other countries, and the English believe their way is the only way. As they grow to understand each other, it becomes a love story.
