• When asked if I consider myself Buddhist, the answer is, Not really. But it's more my religion than any other because I was brought up with it in an intellectual and spiritual environment. I don't practice or preach it, however. But Buddhism has had a major effect on who I am and how I think about the world. What I have learned is that I like all religions, but only parts of them.

• More than just romantic comedy, I like romances: drama romance, romance comedy, comedy romance. I also go to the movies to escape.

And I personally escape more happily into a romance than I do violent movies.
