I really love the experience of moving things around, in terms of being a director.
There’s no truth anymore.
Trips to the dentist – I like to postpone that kind of thing.
The quality of life is so different in France. There is the possibility of living a simple life. I would never contemplate raising my daughter in LA. I would never raise any child there.
There were so many great teachers that had so much to offer. The idea of being rigid, why would you do that? People have their things, but why be rigid with any education when you can take things from here and take things from there?
The idea of dancing is the only thing that scares me.
Am I a romantic? I’ve seen ‘Wuthering Heights’ ten times. I’m a romantic.
I’ve been lucky enough to work with a make-up artist, Joel Harlow, who you can throw anything at. I said, “Joel, I need to go to the London eye with my children and I want to look like a roadie from Lynyrd Skynyrd.”
I would say that he has a rather limited and uncreative way of looking at the situation.
I’m not ‘Blockbuster Boy.’ I never wanted to be. I wasn’t looking for that...
As soon as we fall in love and we realise we’ve met the one the rest of our lives can’t come soon enough. It’s not like you’re in a rush to get to the finish line, you’re in a rush to feel and experience everything and then do it all again.
I was definitely never a crowd pleaser.
Even when you’re down and blue, just remember that someone out there loves you, even if you don’t know it and even if you haven’t yet met them. There’s someone out there waiting for you, remember that and keep faith. You’ll get there.
I don’t trust anyone who hasn’t been self-destructiv e in some way, and who hasn’t gone through some sort of bout of self-loathing. You’ve got to bang yourself around a bit to know yourself.
Puberty was very vague. I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar.
I’m not even born yet. I’m still trying. I’m still pushing. I don’t ever want to get to a place where I feel satisfied.
Do what you really want to do. Don’t play their game! Don’t do what they want. Find your own way.
Religion is a fascinating black hole to me.
Not being well-versed in that arena myself, it’s a little bit frightening because I’m not very good in those situations with lots of people and lots of famous people and cameras and all of that. It’s not my specialty.
I’m all for whatever it takes to get wherever you need to get with a character, as long as you don’t wipe it on me.
