I'd be really interested in making a dramatic, low-key 3D film.

There's a level of immersion that is perfect and there's a level that, for my taste, starts to actually exceed what the screen can provide. At that point, you're kind of overexceeding yourself.

The boundary between real life and acting is hard to find.

The funny thing about me is I move from genre to genre, but I essentially shoot all the movies the same way.

Movies aren't just supposed to be a representation of reality. They're supposed to be an art.

One of my favourite movies is Billy Wilder's 'The Apartment.' It's shot in super wide screen, and it's beautiful.

When an employee truly understands the meaning of his work and gets recognition for his efforts he performs the best.

To succeed, we must have the will to succeed, we must have stamina, determination, backbone, perseverance, self-reliance, and faith.

We do not move forward by curtailing people's liberty because we are afraid of what they may do or say.

I'm really happy to be a mom, and I'm proud of the phase I'm in.

President Trump is bringing a very candid - and direct type of leadership to the White House. And in conversations with leaders around the world, frankly, I think they all find it very refreshing.

Without delay I began work, without hesitation and all of a fever.
