A lot of people fear death because they think that so overwhelming an experience has to be painful but I've seen quite a few deaths and with one exception I've never known anyone to undergo anything like agony. That's amazing when you think about it. I mean how complicated the mechanism is that's being taken apart.

Because sorry to say women run the house. They run the family. They hold things up. I mean it's like you don't ever see your mom get sick because she handles everything. And it's kind of amazing I think to show people just how strong women are.

The video game culture was an important thing to keep alive in the film because we're in a new era right now. The idea that kids can play video games like Grand Theft Auto or any video game is amazing. The video games are one step before a whole other virtual universe.

Gwen Stefani has amazing style. I used to really love Courtney Love and anything she wore I loved. Or Chloe Sevigny because I really love that sort of classic look and I like being girly and flowery and wearing little D&G dresses. I wear hats a lot too.

Directing is a really kind of amazing thing because you're helping others and in the middle of that you have to worry about yourself.

There's no way in the world that just because women turn the number 40 they're anything less than amazing. That's crazy. If anything you're even more amazing!

It's been amazing to watch because for 'Thor' which was always a mid-selling book to be in the top ten for every single issue since the reboot is just a great compliment.

I mean why am I considered an 'it girl?' Because I'm in a lot of movies right now or am on the covers of magazines? I just hope there is something solid behind that. Because here's the thing with 'it girl' status. It's great and amazing that anybody is saying that at all. But how long does that last?

Some of my fans have said that because I've been able to speak about my issues that they're not afraid to speak about theirs which is an amazing feeling.

One of the most amazing things about mathematics is the people who do math aren't usually interested in application because mathematics itself is truly a beautiful art form. It's structures and patterns and that's what we love and that's what we get off on.
