Don't be too afraid of failure to learn what you need to learn.

The hardest thing is never what you think it's going to be.

I think film is collaboration, and I always want to hear everyone's input.

In some ways I'm oddly traditional, I've been a serial monogamist since I was 12. I've always tried to work hard and get good grades and be a good person, but I feel like I've also always had a strange defiance of authority or the status quo, I've never understood why things always have to be just one way.

I think women should support each other's work, encourage each other's work, help develop each other's voices and I think, ultimately, when we can stop having the conversation about 'women filmmakers', and just talk about 'filmmakers', then we'll know we've really gotten somewhere.

Dogs just need you and love, that's all.
