Everything I did growing up was with that as the real goal - doing Broadway; doing theatre. That was always the big thrill for me.

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

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.

As an actor, I've always been interested in making sure I can perform the role and the lines in the way the writer intended.

The part that I felt most comfortable with going in was just working with actors and trying to make them feel comfortable and safe so they could find the performance. That part felt organic to me.

I always cry at weddings, they're beautiful, and I'm always moved.

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