I don't think I responded very well to the sudden celebrity, the sudden fame, and the loss of privacy.

I like to challenge myself. I like to learn - so I like to try new things and try to keep growing.

You're only as good as the sum of your parts, and one person can't be a team.

I think the other honest attraction was that I just grew up loving watching TV and loving watching film, and there's so many directors and actors that I dreamed of working with, I just really wanted to take a crack at it and see if I could ever work with some of those.

Our imagination often is more horrifying than being shown something.

I think I'm a very very nice director. Very supportive, very nurturing. I definitely try to challenge my actors but I think I'm very supportive.

I think it was really crucial that the actress was age appropriate. There are films, such as An Education, where that wasn't the case, and I think that really affects how you receive what you're watching.
