I aspire to be able to appreciate and review a director based on their accomplishments and based on who they are and what they bring to the material, regardless of their gender.

Actors become actors because they loved entertaining their family by putting on the lampshade and dancing around as a kid, ... That's not my personality. For me, the fun part of making movies is seeing it as a director sees it. I like the architecture of movies. I like knowing what's coming and working to set that up.

When I think about what part of my college experience came back in my work experience, I feel like it was learning how to read deeper, learning how to keep filling the movie up with more and more resonance.

I don't find acting and directing schizophrenic, in any way. I find it completely easy to move between the two.

Casting is a long process for me. I take a lot of time.

I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age.

You guys might be surprised, but I am not Honey Boo Boo Child.
