I love photography and first editions. I have that in my genes. My father was an archivist.

I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.

I love watching old movies, and I read a lot of autobiographies.

It's an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk.

If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.

My father is an atheist. My mother is Buddhist. They encouraged my siblings and me to take the best part of other religions to make our own belief system.
