If people knew what made hits they'd make more of them, so to have the illusion of control over one's career isn't something I can even pretend to have.

I have just enough attention to feel glamorous and important.

Well, I didn't really admit that I anywhere until my daughter started school and I knew I couldn't pull up and leave when I felt like it.

Because I tend to kind of hide under the sheets when it comes to reality television. I've seen probably one episode of maybe five different shows, and that's about it.

My roles are in some way like children to me. You don't ever really want to scrape one off your shoe.

I think certainly directing is a visual medium, but it's also about communication, and a lot of times great directors are lacking in communication skills, which is rather shocking to discover that.

When I was 12, all I wanted was to be good at school, and to do something admirable, something you can't take away from me because I'm not popular or beautiful enough.
