It's not often that the idea of continuing something for a potentially long period of time sounds exciting to me, because I really am a gypsy by nature.
I'm an incurable optimist and a go-getter - it's in my nature to focus much more on what makes me happy than what makes me nervous.
A character, their ability or inability to laugh at themselves should always be a very, very conscious choice. It's a very big key to the nature of a human being.
I've made four films about the destructive nature of relationships, of secrets and lies, and I think I'm no longer interested in that subject - which is a wonderful relief.
I was trying to do too many things at the same time, which is my nature. But I was enjoying it, and I still do enjoy it.
Every single thing you see on-screen came out of somebody's creativity. It doesn't exist. Nature didn't deliver it to us. Everything had to be dreamed.

With While You Were Sleeping, it was so much fun and such a Cinderella story, that I didn't want to do another romantic comedy. I wanted to do the opposite.
I don't know what I'd do if I was making a romantic comedy; I wouldn't feel like I was earning my $100 a day.
