I think writing a book with film in mind is a way to write a really bad books. You can usually tell those books that are packaged to become films.

Life is what you make it... and nowhere close to making mine the best it can be.

There's only so much you can do, but if somebody doesn't give you a chance there is nothing you can do.

I like what I do, and I'm very fortunate now to be in a very nice place. Which is that I don't have to work anymore. So the work that I do now is purely because I really want to.

Well, life is dark. We live in a very dark world. When they call them "dark films" it annoys me, because they're very real stories. They're stories I have seen or experienced or witnessed, and coming from that place, that is the hope of humanity.

I love that old glamour look. I think it's because I grew up on it.

People always say to me, "What's wrong with Hollywood? They don't want to make female-driven movies." And that's not where the problem lies. It lies with us, in society. When we make these movies, nobody goes to see them.
