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.

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'd always need a creative outlet. But sometimes, I do fantasize what my life would be like if I weren't famous.

I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.

When I go into the stores, I pet the saddles. Until security comes and takes me away.

It's a skill that people are born with. Either you're a focuser or you're a multitasky person. I am a full-focus person.

I don't know why people think child actresses in particular are screwed up. I see kids everywhere who are totally bored. I've never been bored a day in my life.
