If the inspiration is genuine and it's coming from the right place, that's what I like and want to be a part of.
I think our culture is sick and tired of fluffy nonsense and people want something more sincere and heartfelt.
I go through a lot of bad stuff, because most of the stuff that's written is pretty bad. But occasionally something comes along that's good, and I want to do it.
When I was Younger, I wanted to be something.Now, I just want to be younger.
I didn't want to just work within Hollywood when I started a production company. I wanted to be able to collaborate with great artists from all over the world.
That you can be whatever you want to be, whoever you want to be, regardless of your gender.
Press is basically a created story. It's all just stories.
Quality isn't about where the money came from or which company gets to put their name on the thing. What matters is who made the movie and why they made it.
To be honest, I sort of feel like 'movie actor' isn't of this time. I love it. But it's a 20th-century art form.
When I was 20, I went to Paris and tried to meet French women. It didn't work.
On some level, we as human beings can be who we want to be.
To me, a sex scene in a movie generally means a gratuitous scene that doesn't serve the story but gives a kind of excuse - we've got these two actors, we want to see them naked, so let's bring in the music and the soft light.
Ummm... well, the only thing I want to do is stuff with people who care about what they're doing, which sounds obvious, but it's really not.
There's no royalty in America, so people deify actors.
