I feel like I am very drawn to the short form stuff because it's just fun to be making something, and then, a week later, it's out. I will always be drawn to that kind of thing.

The more you travel, the better you get at it.

In my films that I've directed, and my work in commercials and videos, I've rarely used handheld. It's just not something I'm drawn to, but I've seen it done very well.

When I'm in London, Claridge's is a great favourite. I'm a big fan of art deco architecture and the rooms are extraordinary.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

As a director myself, you really appreciate collaborating with people who are trying to help you find what you need and what you want.

I really value distinctive movies, movies that feel that they came from a person that was really something that they had conceived and they made and is a reflection of who they are.

I love 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' and I love 'Bugsy Malone.' I haven't seen 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' in a long time, but I remember loving it as a kid.

A movie that I'm involved with and have a lot of love for, which is On The Road, does use a lot of handheld. It can be done beautifully. I'm proud of that. It's a very beautiful movie.

Nice is a city of ghosts and specters, but I hope not to become one of them right away.

I've never had a chance to go to the Finals, and I don't have a ring - and that would be the only thing that would get me to think about it.

With a sketch show, it's "a bunch of people and they're being funny." In a way that you can't really explain it.

The word "elegance" is a bit different now.

I have a really analytical approach to art. And the whole idea that you can't analyze what makes a joke funny...I do not agree with that at all.

I like people. I like watching them. It's just that I'd prefer to do it from a mile away using very powerful binoculars.

That wall, embodied in the First Amendment, is perhaps America's most important contribution to political progress on this planet.

I don't like people who sit on computers all day long and write about people they don't know anything about.

How can women be as thin as we are? We have personal trainers to work us out. We have specially prepared meals.
