I'm not interested in being perfect when im older. Im interested in having a narrative. It's the narrative that's really the most beautiful thing about women.

All the movies that I make in some ways have to be the story of my life. There are different chapters in my life.

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.

Being understood is not the most essential thing in life.

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.

Acting, for me, is exhausting. I'm always more energized by directing. It's more intense to direct. I can pop in and express myself, then pop out again. It's a huge passion for me.

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