I didn't die young. So I am very lucky. There are other artists and people that didn't survive certain things... people can imagine that I did the most dangerous, and I did the worst... for many reasons, I shouldn't be here.

I'm shy to call myself a director still. When someone says, 'What do you do for a living?' I don't know if I've earned that.

I see myself as mom first. I'm so lucky to have that role in life. The world can like me, hate me or fall apart around me and at least I wake up with my kids and I'm happy.

They say it's better than sex. It's so much better. It's amazing.

All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough.

There's people constantly asking you for something on set, so the multi-tasking of motherhood transfers very well to being a director. And I think you're compassionate.

I guess that I've always wanted to be a Bond villain.
