"How speak about an art which no one recognizes as an art? I know that a great deal has already been written about the "art of the cinema".

"Film gives us a second chance at a first impression."

"Getting your screenplay right is the most important thing you'll ever do on your film."

"This role is more visible, and I grew up without a lot of that sort of modeling so I'm relieved and proud to have done this film."
