Of course, like all film-makers I've been mesmerised by cinema since I was a child.
Anthony MinghellaI've often gone to start a film only to find the producers surprised to discover that I'm American.
Alessandro NivolaI like shows or films or books that have messages but don't beat people over the head with them.
Anna PaquinI'd quite like to try all sorts of different things, whether it be theatre, TV or film.
April PearsonI knew that I wanted to be a film actress and I never watched TV. I was always too busy.
Alicia SilverstoneMy purpose is to make films that will help people to live, even if they sometimes cause unhappiness.
Andrei TarkovskyI felt little awkward about taking one boyfriend to see a film starring another boyfriend.
Shelley DuvallThe film kept me from working as a secretary. It was a real stroke of luck. A miracle.
Victoria AbrilIt just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream.
