My superpower would be telepathy. And I would by necessity need to use it with discretion, not all the time.

There's a whole, that is a whole subgenre within martial arts cinema. The supernatural martial arts movie. Particularly within Asian cinema.

I root for all movies, but I especially root for good comic book movies. It's the best, most interesting genre going right now.

I think the Harry Potter movies are proof that audiences love that stuff. They love the idea of magical objects and they like learning the rules of those objects and what they do.

Catch a dog in your favorite chair, and he slinks away abashed. The cat will pretend incomprehension; surely you must know it's her chair?

Drug addicts, when they are in their addiction, are selfish.

A kitchen without a knife is not a kitchen.

If you squander on a holyday, you will want on a workday unless you have been sparing.

I've said, I think since the second one [part of Twilight Saga ], that it's going to take 10 years to really settle in my brain, and I'm four years into it.

Love makes intellectual pretzels of us all.
