I was lucky - the first eight productions I auditioned for, I got cast.

I prefer to make a film that people have a really intense reaction to than have a film that people feel ambivalent about.

I usually hate going around and doing press. It sort of stresses me out.

I have to just worry about my own opinion and the opinions of the people I'm working with and people who are close to me.

Often, people who want to make interesting films simply don't have the money to do it.

Sailor Moon' was my favorite cartoon of all time, and I'm still kind of obsessed with it. I own all the DVDs to watch it at home.

It doesn't really matter what people think of me, I should just be connecting with people I really like instead of pretending to be the perfect version of myself.
