No one's personal life is in the public interest. It's gossip, bottom line. End of story.

When the story is good enough, people can watch something three times the length of an opera.

I can imagine there is going to come a time when someone will do 13 hours of a story without breaks.

But I feel that I have a responsibility to help the film and I have relations with the studio and with those who put up the money so that I can tell a story that I believe in.
