Woody Allen sets are very quiet. Extraordinary sense of power from a man who doesn't do anything except just stand there.

The idea that you can make love and not war really is pretty neat. That thing in Korea, the thing in Israel - that's all over the world. There must be a new way of thinking.

I think creativity is spiritual. I absolutely believe that.

I really like to experiment. That's the only way I can work. It's instinctive.

No matter how big you are, details count!
