I eat healthily and exercise, and I'm not giving up and saying I'm too old - I'm just determined to keep on marching with enthusiasm and interest and curiosity.

I've never done anything in my career that has gotten as much attention as 'House of Cards.'

I'm interested in the cosmos. I want to know what's out there and how connected we are.

It's interesting: John Calley at Warner Bros. helped me put 'Alice' together. It was very unusual back then for a studio to support an actress the way he backed and supported me. He even asked me if I wanted to direct the film, which I didn't feel prepared to at that point.

If you do the same thing every night, that's the death of music.

Death is the one - the one thing we don't have many answers for. We understand how people die, but we don't know what comes next, and that's something that's always fascinated and disturbed me and frustrated me.

Many great stories are father issues, mother issues or death.

If you don't have imagination, you stop being human; animals don't have imagination; Alzheimer's is the death of imagination.
