 I fantasize about having a manual job where I can come home at night, read a book and not feel responsible for what will happen the next day. |
| But the reason I became, why I wanted to be in the business was because there was Midnight Cowboy. |
| I'd like to be Dakota Fanning when I get young. |
| Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from. |
| I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse. |
| I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies. |
| I'm kind of a chatterbox and I talk really fast. |
| The movies I made when I was 14 or 15, I have a hard time looking at those. Those were the awkward years. I don't know if anybody can look at something they did when they were 14 and not wince. |
| I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize. |
| I wish people could get over the hang-up of subtitles, although at the same time, you know, that's kind of why I'm kind of pro dubbing. |
| My kids are young and my life with them is really stimulating and really full and significant. |
| I have, in some ways, saved characters that have been marginalized by society by playing them - and having them still have dignity and still survive, still get through it. |
| I prefer to commit 100 per cent to a movie and make fewer films, because it takes over your life. |
| I don't know why people think child actresses in particular are screwed up. I see kids everywhere who are totally bored. I've never been bored a day in my life. |
| I guess I've played a lot of victims, but that's what a lot of the history of women is about. |
| I am the luckiest filmmaker I know. |
