Passion Should Always Trump Common Sense.

I Go To Paris, I Go To London, I Go To Rome, And I Always Say, 'there's No Place Like New York. It's The Most Exciting City In The World Now. That's The Way It Is. That's It.'

I Always Wanted To Direct. Directing Is A Lot More Of A Commitment Though, A Lot More Time. I Like Directors Who Do Very Few Takes, They Know What They Want.

It's Important Not To Indicate. People Don't Try To Show Their Feelings, They Try To Hide Them.

I Spent Lunchtime In A Grave During The Filming Of 'bloody Mama.' When You're Younger, You Feel That's What You Need To Do To Help You Stay In Character. When You Get Older, You Become More Confident And Less Intense About It - And You Can Achieve The Same Effect.

I Always Tell Actors When They Go In For An Audition: Don't Be Afraid To Do What Your Instincts Tell You. You May Not Get The Part, But People Will Take Notice.
