The idea of directing a film is a strange one for me. I feel anti-mathematical, in a way, in that sense. I don't like when things make sense. I prefer if they don't.

I think everybody's weird. We should all celebrate our individuality and not be embarrassed or ashamed of it.

if you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second.

The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.

We wonder with our thoughts to where we wish to be.

I'm working with a lot of legends who are brilliant who are people I've looked up to from a very young age.

You have to be alert. When my daughter, Sophie, came out of the womb, she was instantly alert, as if she had been here before. And she was a little disappointed that she was here again.

My husband. He keeps me grounded. If I were in the world on my own, it would all be much more seductive. But I'm in a relationship that has nothing to do with the film world.

God was a clever idea ... The human race came up with a winner there.

Using drugs didn't help me to play, all it did was to hang me up for about fifteen years.

If God's got a favorite songwriter, I think it's John Prine.
