I’m probably only going to make 10 movies, so I’m already planning on what I’m going to do after that. That’s why I’m counting them. I have two more left. I want to stop at a certain point. What I want to do, basically, is I want to write novels, and I want to write theatre, and I want to direct theatre.

I have lived a life that has been beautiful and painful at some moments. But I am convinced others can learn how to control a certain kind of rage that bubbles up in many Americans, particularly, but not limited to, women, blacks, and other minorities.
The worst times were the years I was alone. The image to the public entering the courtroom was eight men, of a certain size, and then this little woman sitting to the side. That was not a good image for the public to see.
From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached.

Memes just show that people are engaged about something. A meme is just a little inside joke for a group of people that care about a certain thing.

From my side, I don’t put pressure on the director to cater to a certain image. I am happy to do different films, and I have to stick by my director. I like to completely surrender myself to the director – that way, I think, I don’t get to do the similar roles.

Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided; but they are far better than certain kinds of peace.
