directing filmmakers instead joking kids mom suddenly
I was joking with my mom that all Jewish mothers now will want their kids to be filmmakers instead of doctors. Because you can make one film, and suddenly you're directing a 'Jurassic Park' movie.

I think that no relationship goes completely according to plan or the way you wished it had.

I thought Charlize Theron was awesome in 'Mad Max,' and that was a very masculine kind of hero.
