People are always surprised when I say that I'm an atheist.

I think anybody over 30 plays parents because it happens in your thirties and so that's kind of a natural progression. But I'm definitely drawn to it. It's probably the most intense, passionate thing that happens to you as you get older.

I feel at various times in my life that I've been at a point where I had to choose between a death sentence and a life sentence. And I want to live. What do I do to live? What do I do to be vital? And the answer is always creativity.

I think I missed all of the wonderful things ... I missed the control that you have in film, and I missed getting it right, really getting it right, the way you hope people will see it. All of the things that people love about theater - the fact that it changes every night and that it's so spontaneous - all of those things just frighten me.

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.

As an actor, I'm attracted to drama as a director, it's humor - because it's the story of my life, and I can't be that serious about it. Being alone is a big theme in all my movies, both as a director and as an actress.

I absolutely love religions and the rituals. Even though I don't believe in God, we celebrate pretty much every religion in our family with the kids.

There is no doubt that each of us is born an individual. Why is it then that so many of us die carbon copies?

Where I have problems is when I am in the midst of doing something that I am completely focused on, and then I am asked to buy shoes or something.

All the movies that I make in some ways have to be the story of my life. There are different chapters in my life.

What the digital age has offered us, in terms of connectivity and transparency, is that all of these people from weird places in the world are all talking to each other, at four in the morning, and are sharing ideas. There's more openness than has ever been known, so that's a good thing.

Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock do romantic comedies. I do dark dramas. I do these movies well.

I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.
