I think when you're in a relationship, either you have something or your partner generally has something that you're having to deal with.

I want there to be tons and tons and tons and tons of movies starring women.

Rather than just becoming embittered by your friends' success, I think it can motivate you.

The nice thing about a documentary, I think, is that so much of it is editing, too. You sort of get to keep making decisions. It's not as much like when you do a narrative, fictional piece, and you have a certain number of shooting days, and you're like, "Well, that's what it is." You can continue to seek out more photographs or try to find more footage. The genre gives you the ability to keep working on it, which is great for a first-time director.

I never pursued anything but acting. But as a kid, I was really interested in the Supreme Court. I wanted to to be a Supreme Court justice, but didn't want to be a lawyer. I just wanted to go straight to being a justice.

The more attention you give to your negative feelings, the more they grow, so I think things just start to blow totally out of proportion.

I say the word N-U-C-L-E-R the same way that George W. Bush says it.
