I've spent my life hearing people trying to apologize for music.

I am intrigued enough to want to continue, and also to try and work with companies like Sony on modifying the cameras and making them more user-friendly and efficient.

But I don't have such a strong desire to need to get away from filmmaking.

There's nothing quite like the idea of failing spectacularly to excite a film maker

The world is an infinitely fascinating, tragic and humorous place.

One of the things I love about cinema is the range.

I'm a huge fan of world cinema, because each country uses cinema in a very individual way.

I might have a guitar or a piano on set to play something for the actors.

I like to work my camera as if it were a musical instrument.

I play piano and trumpet. I studied classical guitar.

I would certainly say that films like Time Code and the Loss of Sexual Innocence were far more rewarding to me in terms of being able to move forward as a filmmaker.

What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older.

The act of love . . . is a confession. Selfishness screams aloud, vanity shows off, or else true generosity reveals itself.

Knowing who you are begins in the mind.

Makes of men date, like makes of car.

I'm embracing the punk. There's so much punk style in everything we do and wear everyday; we just never have the chance to do it all the way.

They got love bigger than the Beatles, wild and free like the Rolling Stones.

The essence of design... lies in the process of discovering a problem shared by many people and trying to solve it.

Oh God, to think that you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought.

I've thought for a long time that my body type would have worked well in the '70s. The idea that you could be a broad-shouldered, small-breasted woman and still wear really great outfits.

I will look, your Honor, and endeavor to find a precedent, if you require it; though it would seem to be a pity that the Court should lose the honor of being the first to establish so just a rule.
