We all understand situations where it's swim or drown. Sometimes we surprise ourselves when we start swimming and see how well we can do it.

I never take that for granted, but I'm always very aware that I'm one person and I can't wear everything.

I've always known I wanted a family.

I think that women find their strength and power in their sexuality, in their sensuality within, [through] getting older and being secure within that.

I feel 100% sure that I have the career that I have today because of independent filmmaking.

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.

I make a real effort to try and live in the real world and not just the dream world.
