And the podcasting - I swear to you - on its worst day, the podcasts are better than our best films. Because they're more imaginative, and there's no artifice, and it's far more real.
I hate being cold and I hate being wet and around 80% percent of this film I was cold and another 60% I was cold and wet, so it wasn't the best shoot for me.
At its best, film should be like a ski jump. It should give the viewer the option of taking flight, while the act of jumping is left up to him.
'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' is without a doubt the best film we are ever likely to see on the subject - unless there is a sequel, which is unlikely, because at the end, the Lincolns are on their way to the theater.
Working with David Lynch was like taking a bullet. A gun at you. 'Lost Highway' is, I think, one of the best films I've ever been in. It'll endure a long, long time.
When you're a woman in your 40s, it's not the best time to do films, because there really aren't that many roles. Then you reach 50 and there are more roles again. Mother parts.
I have been a film buff all my life and believe that the finest cinema is fully the equal of the best novels.
I do my work to the best of my capacity. I don't pick a role looking at its length. I take up a film because I would like to see it.
My films start with images, a few images and a few feelings, and I try to edit them together to see the correspondence between these images and these feelings.
Modelling, fashion and film have all encouraged me to learn more about issues and to feel empowered enough to do something about them.
My belief is that if you start a film all the way up at level 10, you've got nowhere to go.
I find the songs and dances in Hindi films fascinating, and I know I will do justice to them, as I am a trained dancer.
I hate when you see a film and after one scene you know what's going to happen and you can predict the whole story.
You do a film and you know where you're going, you have this material to stretch and play with as much as possible because you know how it ends.
I don't do a film unless it has a sword in it. And if it doesn't have a sword in it, I insist that they have one in the same room to keep me comfortable.
Fat noses have no place in the Hindi film industry. But it is not so in the West - otherwise, Anthony Quinn would have never been an actor.
The notion of directing a film is the invention of critics - the whole eloquence of cinema is achieved in the editing room.
I've always had an interest in vampire films - not just 'Nosferatu,' but there are many others that I have enjoyed: Abel Ferrara, Coppola, Neil Jordan.
I think that the Western went away for a while because part of its function was that it used to be America's action film.
A lot of directors straight out of film school are very technically minded, but they don't have an understanding of actors or how to talk to them.
If I was not allowed to mention that I was in the film industry, I could go six months without getting a kiss.
