Hand-drawn animation is something that I feel really strongly about. A Pixar movie may be really great, but it looks like it was drawn by a machine.
I have a great deal of difficulty recognizing faces, especially if I haven't - if I've just met somebody, it's hopeless.
Sunglasses are great, but I always feel a bit pretentious wearing sunglasses. I mean, I do love to wear them.
What's great about documentary, it seems to me, is that it can be experimental filmmaking. You have a license to do a lot of diverse things under the umbrella of 'documentary.'
Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.
For any filmmaker who has just released a film and who is experiencing some measure of success, the temptation can be great to respond to every screening request that comes in.
I found it marvelous that the great supporters of America in Europe are, of course, those countries that American consistency and firmness in the Cold War ended up liberating.
That's the great thing about entering a convent: There are things that you simply can't do, so you don't have to worry about them.
Acting is about animality. It's great to be allowed to be animal. But I feel more alive as a director. Every morning, I have to write.
There's always some generational-guys-hanging-out movie that is made every few years, I think, and some of them are great.
I am a very judgmental person. Of myself and other people. I recognise it's a great fault, but I have no power over that.
Sometimes good television doesn't depend on money, it depends on imagination and good people directing, casting and doing the job with talented people.
I've been trying really hard to be more domesticated. It's not in my nature to clean and cook, and so I've been really good about it.
I believe in a higher power and I believe in good and bad, right and wrong. You sleep in the bed you make.
The first thing I do every morning is go online to check the surf. If the waves are good, I'll go surf. The beach is 10 minutes away.
Each morning needs to start with a good sweat. I'm either working out at home or on set, depending on my call time.
When I woke up this morning my girlfriend asked me, 'Did you sleep good?' I said 'No, I made a few mistakes.'
Good jokes are gems. A good idea is hard to come by. I couldn't give them to someone else, even for money. It just wouldn't seem right.
Power is power. It's energy. And if you get big, big energy, you can use that in a good way.
I wanted to be a ballerina so badly. You can be seen and take over the spotlight without speaking. I had a fear of speaking in public back then.
I like those crisis moments - if you're on top of it and don't get pulled under by panic and fear, it's a very bonding thing.
