My dream role would probably be a psycho killer because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also it's incredibly romantic.

Movies are not about the weekend that they're released and in the grand scheme of things that's probably the most unimportant time of a film's life.

I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.

Somebody asked me about the current choice we're being given in the presidential election. I said Well it's like two of the scariest movies I can imagine.

Movies are all about plot. Theater even if it's story heavy it's about ideas.

When you make a film you usually make a film about an idea.

There's an electrical thing about movies.

I don't think you should feel about a film. You should feel about a woman not a movie. You can't kiss a movie.

Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole it would be about me.

A lot of movies are about life mine are like a slice of cake.
