I have always had this secret fantasy of being a Bourne girl or Bond girl, and I've never even gotten called in on one of those roles.

I love my kids, they are amazing children, but they drive me bananas sometimes. And sometimes, I want to sell them on eBay... but I'm not going to.

There is something really nice about learning that you can take the reins of your life and your career.

Everyone grows and changes. It's not even to say that you become a better person than you were, but you're morphing. This whole thing is just a weird river that we're on.

It's not rocket science to make a movie.

There are certain tenets set in place for all different types on genres. For thrillers, women usually die first.

I don't think I'm going to go into Iron Man. I mean, I can't say that I won't go into something like an Iron Man franchise.

One who doesn't recognise an opportunity is bigger loser than one who tries his hand at an opportunity.

Trust yourself. Make sure your mistakes are your own, not somebody else’s.

Vultures pick the meat clean off a bone. Guilt eats at the marrow, leaving a man hollow.

I am interested in details. If you go into anything far enough, you get into the details of it, and people turn out to be interested in what makes things work.

I didn't know what Guess jeans were. I just shopped at Wal-Mart and Kmart and stuff like that.

The courage of all one really knows comes but late in life.

A random sequence is one that cannot be algorithmically compressed : the shortest description of a random sequence is simply the sequence itself.

I know in this day and age, when you meet men, they often want to be boys. They dress like boys. And it's very confusing. I can't offer any solution except to make a movie about it.

Eventually, I think cinematography for every culture is a way to explore different stories, different ways of also delivering a story.
