We're in a world where every single movie, if it has a woman in it, is usually wrapped around the woman wanting to be liked in some way, either in her life, or she's young, she's an ingenue, she's a hero, she's the lover of somebody, she's the grandmother, she's a chef.

It's always a challenge to make an independent film. It's always a challenge to make a low budget film.

Human behavior is so intriguing. I find myself giving thumbs up signs all the time. I know I look like an absolute dork, but I do it anyway.

Before, I just spewed whatever it was I thought about everything. I tend to be more contemplative now

I'm one of those people who was taught not to ruffle any feathers. Of course, I have no problem ruffling feathers.

Independent film is taking risks in all areas. It's not just about complicated women.

I've always kind of gone with my heart.
