A good movie makes the audience feel like they've journeyed with the characters.

When I go to movies and I love the movie, it's because it feels like it articulated something about how we're living now, and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it.

I feel like everyone wants to make a movie that they feel passionate about watching.

There was a time when all that mattered was that you were in a good movie.

I've made movies that I thought were okay, but then I was very good. And sometimes you're in a movie and you think, 'I wish more people saw that' - because you're good. And it just works out that the movie gets lost. But that's show business.

I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.

I love films, I love the way they make me feel.

I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.

I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I'll make pretty good movies the rest of my life.
