• Obviously there's something very seductive about movies, which can be attractive in a bad way if you're doing them for the wrong reasons — for money, or for fame. I hope I won't ever do that.

• It might be a kind of relief to be finished. You have to start all over again. But I believe you’re always as good as your potential.

So at least it’s something I experienced, but that’s not where I live.
