I Think Looking At Your Own Life,

Everything's Serendipitous And There's No Way Of Knowing Who's Going To Get Sick Or Who's Going To Get Hit By A Bus Or Who's Going To Fall In Love And Who's Going To Get Pregnant. All The Things That Happen, It's Up For Grabs So It's Kind Of An Exercise In Surrender In A Way.

It's Really Hard To Find Stuff That Is Original. You Pick Up Scripts And In Four Pages You Know Where It's Going And The Same Thing When You Are Sitting In A Theatre, I Just Rejoice When Something Unfolds In A Way That I'm Not Conducive.

As A Mother Trying To Raise Kids With Some Kind Of A Code, An Honorable Way To Solve Problems Without Using Violence, I Find It Interesting To Live In A Country Where Your Government Is Allowed To Kill, Whether It's War Or Execution. What Interests Me Is Not Who Deserves To Die But Who Deserves To Kill.

I Think You Have To Be Ready To Switch Gears And Go With The Team As A Director, As Opposed To Superimposing Your Own Strict Idea Of The Story. There Are Very Few Directors That Can Micromanage And Still Come Out With Something That's Living And Breathing On A Page. Wes Anderson Is One Of Those.

By The Time I Went To The Catholic University Of America, Which Was The Time The Priests Were All Leaving With The Nuns, The More I Studied About The Bible And How It Came About, The More I Lost My Faith.
