It doesn't matter if a critic pans or praises my movies, I am only concerned about that one audience member and what their experience is.

I would love to do a musical so hopefully I will be blessed with doing one.

They don't teach you just how to be in school. There's no class on that. There’s no multiple choice test for Why Do I Feel This Way?

The minute I ever start thinking about what a character would do is the minute I bring my ego into play. It's the minute I'm putting a judgment on something.

So the characters that I choose, I like to make sure that they have depth and that they have some sort of bite. It's more fun.

We do have a choice at the end of the day to say yes or to say no. There have been things that I have passed on where agents at the time were like, "you're crazy, why would you pass on this," because it wasn't something that I personally wanted to be a part of.

I think it magnified it. For me, I wasn't sheltered so I think it was magnified. Especially when you're a teenager and you go to high school and you're in the business and you are known.
