I had very strong feelings so the chance to make a film that deals in an imaginative way with stuff you care tremendously about is a real high. It's a really amazing thing to be able to do.

Fame and stuff like that is all very cool but at the end of the day we're all human beings. Although what I do is incredibly surreal and fun and amazing and I'm really grateful for it I don't believe my own press release do you know what I mean?

I was writing a scene where a guy was choking another guy to death. You can go online and type 'chokeholds' and watch scenes where martial artists choke each other out. You can hear what noises they make when they go unconscious see how their bodies flop and everything. YouTube is amazing for the more detailed stuff.

I love to go shopping at Target. They have so much stuff there you can buy almost anything it's really amazing.

I always use my husband's cocoa butter stuff. He has amazing skin!

My relationship with my mom is so amazing. We never got to have that stage that people go through like when you're 13 and you think you're too cool for your parents. When you're embarrassed by them and stuff. We never went through that because I was constantly working and she constantly had to be there.

Housing Works is the coolest thrift store in the world because not only are they the best thrift store - they're not the most thrifty thrift store - but they have amazing stuff and all of their proceeds go directly to kids mostly homeless kids living with AIDS and HIV in New York in the metropolitan area.

It was said Daredevil grew up in Hell's Kitchen an amazing name for a neighbourhood. But that opened a Pandora's box of all the crime stuff I wanted to do. I borrowed liberally from Will Eisner's 'The Spirit' and turned 'Daredevil' into a crime comic.

My parents were kind of like me in that they had tons and tons of weird amazing stuff.

I've got some incredible fans actually - so loyal and they make me birthday cards and Christmas cards. I got this package of poems and artwork based around the songs. They've got this thing called 'Floetry' where they all have to put in artwork. They've set up their own competitions and stuff which is kind of amazing.

I loved hip-hop. The first stuff I heard was Public Enemy and I couldn't believe it. It was amazing and I've always loved hip-hop.

When the shriveled skin of the ordinary is stuffed out with meaning it satisfies the senses amazingly.

You have to understand the tone of the movie because if it's supposed to be funny it can be funny violent like the Home Alone stuff but you have to really understand the tone of what you're doing and make the action work for that and for the character.

I think all teenagers feel alone and that nobody else knows what they are going through and all that sort of stuff.

Is there no Latin word for Tea? Upon my soul if I had known that I would have let the vulgar stuff alone.

I'm not into watching stuff I did last week let alone three or four years ago.

I may be alone in this but I do sense the power of film in that movies have the ability to literally change people's minds. That's pretty powerful stuff when you consider that.

Another thing to do with the blues is how they were recorded. They were done on the quick and some of that stuff was made on wire not even tape let alone digital.

The Bible was a consolation to a fellow alone in the old cell. The lovely thin paper with a bit of matress stuffing in it if you could get a match was as good a smoke as I ever tasted.
