Any actor working a long time should know how a shot is set up, where to place themselves, how to handle the lines. I'm a member of the crew, like the best boy, the electrician. What I'm good at is making eyes at the camera.

You hold all of our futures in your hands. So you better make it good.

I made, like, five movies while I was in college. I think they just weren't memorable movies. I've taken breaks as the years have gone on - I burn out every once in a while.

Ninety-five percent of women's experiences are about being a victim. Or about being an underdog, or having to survive... women didn't go to Vietnam and blow things up. They are not Rambo.

I'm interested in directing movies about situations that I've lived, so they are almost a personal essay about what I've come to believe in.

In the end, winning is sleeping better.

I like to be in a different place when I make a movie so that I can't really focus on anything else, and that is your world.
