When the day's work is over, it's over.
If a film doesn't play, people aren't going to be that nice.
Whenever and wherever we've shown the film, audiences have responded. So I hope we're going to have a happy ending to the whole situation.
When people are on top of each other, they have to find a way to escape. Music is a way to escape.
I've done nudity. I'm an exhibitionist. It doesn't matter.
When you sit down and watch something alone, you're going to watch it for what it is.
There were times that I was going to just give up, ... but I'd look at it again and say, 'You know, I really, really want to do this because it's about what we all go through as people.'
I think that the way music is used in the film is the way people associate music in their own lives. People use it as a means to contemplation.
I cast actors which I thought were very grounded. It was not like a musical comedy,
I think I've had more of a variety in what I've done than most actors
You think of stars as ambitious or aggressive or self-oriented.
The romance stuff is easy. A sex scene... that's hard, because you don't know what to do. Those scenes are awkward.
I think you learn more from looking at how things occurred and what happened afterward, not just at the event
I love to act, and I try to be challenged by what I do
