The saddest and strangest part of Hollywood to me is the fact that millions of dollars are spent on developing works that never get made. It doesn't make any sense to me. I don't understand it.

With any independent film, it's all about getting everyone's schedules in line and everything together at the same time and just doing the best you can do when that happens - if it happens.

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

I'm always amazed that if you pick up a script of something you played years ago, it all comes back so quickly. Even in your body, you remember your blocking and how it felt.

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

I guess what I learned about myself is I'm a bit of a socialist; I want everyone on the set to get equal treatment and credit.

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.
