kids kissing parents supposed
I think that parents are supposed to be sexual. Anybody's parents. Even kissing your mate, to kids it's like they don't even want to go there.
became tool
It became a tool that started so much dialogue. We never guessed that it would be so big.
dignity embraced focus greater humor personal struggles
Under pressure, she embraced her personal struggles with dignity and humor and always with the focus on the greater good.
movies point scene selling
That scene was a selling point to do the movie,
career means saw supposed
I haven't done anything they way you're supposed to because I always saw my career as a means to an end.
focusing good wanting
I never think about humiliating myself. I keep focusing on wanting to do a good job.
In the U.S., they just want to know who you're sleeping with.
love-is thinking differences
I always think that the difference between film and theater is like the difference between masturbation and making love. Because, in film, you just have to get one moment right; you're practically by yourself. And in theater, you actually have to have a relationship with the audience.

It's a miracle when something actually turns out well because there are so many ways for it to go wrong.
character thinking hysteria
There wasn't space to mood-up. I think Rose Byrne was just extraordinary. Talk about a character that could be really unsympathetic at times. She just jumped in these scenes that go from anger to hysteria to crying to laughing and back to anger. I just marveled.
art thinking space
This Catholic thing, I think what it does is it makes a place for mystery in a person. And even when the faith goes away, there's that space where you crave something bigger than yourself. For me, that's kind of where art came in, after that.
kids dark thinking
My aunt had given me these rosary beads that were glow-in-the-dark. So all of a sudden I look down and they're glowing, and I'm looking toward the door and thinking, "Oh, my God, I don't want anything to come though here. I'm not worthy, I'm not ready." I didn't want to be one of those kids who sees Our Lady of Fatima.
