I'm not a crazy old cat lady!

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.

I think that everything is part of creativity - the more you create, the more you have ideas, and the more you meet people.

It seems like the more you grow up the more you fear things.

The perfect life would be to have an amazing part every year and to spend all my free time to just write.

I don't really care about making a big movie - I just want to make good ones.

It's so French to be a cat person.

I'm in love with love, so I'm always taking risks! I think it's part of love, taking risks.

France is an old country that needs to wake up.

Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.

Philadelphia is a depressing intellectual slum

The question I have heard from some Democrats saying that "You know what? Push for gun control, but not now."

The fun thing about doing origin stories is you are introducing the audience to characters.

I'm ready to take the heat.

My life had come to a sudden stop. I was able to breathe, to eat, to drink, to sleep. I could not, indeed help doing so; but there was no real life in me.

As a filmmaker I cannot make anything beautiful. I'm Platonic in that sense.

My worst holiday was in Athens when I was a young drama student at Rada in 1965. I ran out of money. I had my things stolen and I wasn't able to speak a word of the language.

That was the first night I dreamed of Eward Cullen.

That sorrow for sin that keeps the soul from looking towards the mercy seat is a sinful sorrow.
