I'm not that fashion-conscious. A lot of times, when women are appearing to be so perfect, it's because they're a mess underneath.

There we times when everybody in the house has the flu. You're cleaning up vomit and it's 2 in the morning, and you're wishing there was somebody else there to help you.

I still have a problem with nuns. I follow them around like a kitten with a ball of yarn.

Horror movies can be very interesting because they can deal with intangible subjects that are full of emotion.

On certain projects, on big public projects, people definitely are interested in making them greener, but on smaller projects with tight budgets it can be harder.

All life is a struggle for existence. Why should it cease to be a struggle if it spreads among the stars?
