It's true that I have a very healthy ego; anybody who creates does.

I think of myself as a girl from Brooklyn.

Around people I don't know, I'm totally at a loss.

Being a woman in music was fine, but when I wanted to direct, I was poking my head into a man's world.

I go by instinct - I don't worry about experience.

I'm tired of malicious articles slandering me.

I have one son. Of everything I've done in my life, nothing matches the feeling of having life growing inside you.
