Movies tie things up in an arbitrary length of time, but I have always liked things that aren't fully realised.

We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented.

Well, all these stars have their houses swept quite regularly by people who work in the surveillance security business. They come in and they look for bugs and things.

I loved Sherlock Holmes as a kid, but I remember being disappointed when he'd come up with these simple explanations for these complex mysteries.

I'm not from a theatrical background where people do like to work it out on some stage space.

When I began making films, they were just movies: 'What's the new movie? What are you doing?' Now they're called 'adult dramas.'

If you want to be wrong then follow the masses.

My socks DO match. They're the same thickness.

Initially, I felt like my duty was to just keep it positive and be positive and sometimes I crack in that. We're human. I'm imperfect at times and that was just me being imperfect at that one point.

Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past.
