One day, you're a nobody, and the next, you're in a movie that everybody is talking about. But Hollywood has a way of knocking you back down to Earth.

You know, often films that are deemed positive, nobody wants to see them.

I don't require movies to be about good people, and I don't reject screen violence.

Usually when I am in a movie that is about to come out, if people don't love it, that is fine - I can handle it.

When you make a movie, it's just so personal and then you put it out in front of people and it becomes something else.

Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything's okay. I don't make those kinds of movies.

It's rare that movies can sort of capture the tone of life; movies always feel like they have to be one thing or another.

I don't like doing movies that are meaningless or unrealistic. I like things with a lot of reality to them. I'm a pretty serious kind of person myself. Things affect me.

When I go to a film, you're taking it easy and you let things wash over you. That's what cinema's all about. You get involved in a world that's being created in front of you.

Films don't decide my whole life. They are just a part of who I am. What I do in my personal life should be of no concern to the filmmakers or the fans.
