I don't believe we own our children, they're their own souls who make their own choices, we just guide and support them.

Anyway, I believe you don't fix the inside by putting something on the outside.

I like to make movies I like to watch.

Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.

But I do know focusing on the exterior doesn't make me happy. If I want peace and serenity, it won't be reached by getting thinner or fatter.

You know, Mamet is not a huge writer of female parts. Most of his movies don't even have women in them, so I'm lucky I'm in it at all.
