We need to humanize women instead of making the idea of a woman be so stigmatized. That's what's interesting to me as a writer and a director - being able to tell stories that represent women as human beings and don't relate specifically to their gender. I want to just allow them to have their journeys.

I feel like I never get to play any version of myself or get to be a normal person.

Ben Affleck inspired me and reignited my love for acting and filmmaking. It was a big part of getting me to a place where I felt inspired to make my own movie.

It's hard to be scared when there are 80 people around you.

I try to keep an open mind but I'm so tired of the mediocrity.

It was strange at times. We had to make out so much that we kind of got over it. It was really awkward.

It takes 300 years, it seems, for the great bands to get their due.
