Shooting a film is like a kismet quest. You have thirty days and you need magic to happen. So that's why I wear suits. I'm praying to the gods and I'm doing everything I can to respect the powers of the world.

I cannot consistently with self respect do other than I have namely to deliberately violate an act which seems to me to be a denial of everything which ideally and in practice I hold sacred.

Gymnastics taught me everything - life lessons responsibility and discipline and respect.

Well unfortunately I have always regretted the fact that I have a temper but I also have you know have great love and respect for all of the people that have worked for me. I think like everything else this is one of those things that has been blown out of proportion.

History is the key to everything: politics religion even fashion.
