If I make two films in a year, they'll be different. This is my style - I can't have just one way.

The style depends on the subject.

But also, there are no films being made about Afghanistan.

Because there is so little room for expression otherwise, a lot of people love cinema because they find it a way of expressing themselves.

I am grateful to my mother for insisting that I complete my education.

I prefer really often to talk to high school students, mostly because I think they're the future for us.

My mother's the youngest of 10 children too, so we have sort of a special bond in that we know what that feels like. It's a strange spot to be in.

What we need is an education system that works for every child, not a select few. This starts with providing a quality education for our youngest Americans so they can learn, grow, and become prosperous citizens.
