"Some movies, I think, present ideas of the world that just don't help people with their lives. They just present things that are fleeting or stupid. So that's what I'm careful about - making sure I'm part of something that is saying something that I think is valuable in the world of people, not necessarily in the world of art."

"For me, the drive is storytelling. To be a part of an art that tells a story and to be a catalyst, a color in that, is very exciting."

"The aspect of kind of living in your imagination and creating a more romantic vision of the world than the reality that you're given - that's definitely something I can sort of relate to."

"I would say that it's mainly about the director. It's a hard quality to find, but I always know whether I want to do something or not. The character is important to me, as is getting to work with people that I feel like I can learn from and make a great movie with."

"We each have a personal myth, a vision of who we really are and what we want. Health means that part of what you want is to give to others."

"Vertigo is the conflict between the fear of falling and the desire to fall."

"The desire to become a journalist came really because I very much like living abroad, and like to travel, and wanted to be paid for it."

"Enthusiasm is the best protection in any situation. Wholeheartedness is contagious. Give yourself, if you wish to get others."
