"I think my favorite movie has to be [director Patrice Chéreau's] 'La Reine Margot' ('Queen Margot').  I think it's the one that I come back to all the time and still completely love. I think it's probably because it crosses so many genres.

"I think one of my least favorite things is the idea that a film has to fit into a pigeonhole. And with this one you have romance and action and adventure and history and it's breadth is huge, and it's beautiful and the acting is wonderful, so that one .... 'Reds,' the Warren Beatty film with Beatty and Diane Keaton. I love those two performances, again totally beautiful. I think I've watched that one on a bit of a loop. And [Alan J. Pakula's] 'Klute' is another one that I love. That's three."
