Sometimes, you have no idea why something works and other times, you put so much work and effort into something and it just falls flat.

When you're making a movie, you feel like a very small part of something that you really don't have much influence upon. You roll in, you do your thing, and then you're gone.

You can never tell what the public will think! But when something goes well and is well-received, it's a great surprise!

Sexual awareness is part of growing up. When you're growing up, you can't get away from sex.

I dated a guy who played bad guys in movies all the time, and I think he was just a bad guy.

The thing I'm obsessed with is really great bad paintings. I have a storage locker full of them and I want to give them their own museum. You don't even know who these artists are - you can buy them at garage sales, antique stores and places like that. They're brilliant because they were done with the intention of being great, but the artist sort of made a wrong turn. Some of them are hilarious and I can't get enough of them.

There's definitely a psychology to making you feel important and like you're part of the game. It's a very special quality, especially with a first-time director.
