I think there's a part when you sign your soul to the devil and start working in Los Angeles that you also sign away that you could be a human being in anyone's eye. You're like a robot!

The feminist movement is often clouded with Gloria Steinem's perspective, but I feel like denying women their sexuality is just as chauvinistic.

I grew up just outside of Austin, and my upbringing was fairly rural.

There is a common, puritanical way that we look at things where, if it involves sexuality, somehow the women must be compromised. It's just chauvinistic to deny women their sexuality. It's about empowering. It comes down to choices. If the choices are available and they're making that choice, they're not being exploited.

I take the sexy girl parts and try to give them something else and make them a character.

I approach all of my movies with an open mind and a willingness to dive in and do what's asked of me.

I'm pretty confusing. But I do have an oil rig in my back yard.
