I'm a huge fan of classic sci-fi.

Making a movie with Lindsay Lohan is not for the faint of heart.

A long-running TV series is a beast in that it demands you stick to one character over a long haul.

Mind your own business.

I love working in New Zealand. It's just the most beautiful country I've ever been to.

A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.

The desire to perform impedes conversation.

Serving democracy and nourishing the common good is, for the media, something that requires not only attacking corrupt secrecies in a society, but also defending non-corrupt communication.

Security is when I'm very much in love with somebody extraordinary who loves me back.

We can choose to throw stones, to stumble on them, to climb over them, or to build with them.
