My mom was always late. It drove me crazy as a child. So I'm always on time - or early.

I absolutely love religions and the rituals. Even though I don't believe in God, we celebrate pretty much every religion in our family with the kids.

As an actor, I'm attracted to drama; as a director, it's humor - because it's the story of my life, and I can't be that serious about it. Being alone is a big theme in all my movies, both as a director and as an actress.

I didn't grow up really wanting to be an actor. I don't remember ever not being an actor.

I want to change the system from within the system. And that means focusing and specializing.

Just to set the record straight, a salary for a given on-screen performance does not include the right to invade anyone’s privacy, to destroy someone’s sense of self.

I am the luckiest filmmaker I know.
