I went through this very serious Woody Allen phase in college and a little bit after college. I still see his movies.

I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.

When I go to movies and I love the movie, it's because it feels like it articulated something about how we're living now, and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it.

A lot of times, we're just sold these movies that are really cynically conceived and marketed, and they just want you there opening weekend, before everybody finds out it's not so good.

I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn movies.

I'm a sci-fi girl. If I can have anything in life, I'd want tons of great science-fiction movies and stories. It's so progressive, beautiful, and imaginative.

I think as an American society, when we're paying too many taxes or dealing with war, we don't want to see sad things at the movies.

All through my life what I've loved doing is watching movies. I love the escapism of film, I love stories. So it is incredible to be able to be in them as much as I am, to see them from the first stitch in a costume to the end product.

I like to play guitar, jam out, play the blues, go watch movies. I love movies.

I spent much of my later childhood and adolescence very, very involved and interested in art, and particularly in animated movies.
