If I’m feeling something, I have a lot of different ways to express it, you know? I can write an article about it. I can write a screenplay about it. I can act in someone’s thing.

It's not our job to play judge and jury, to determine who is worthy of our kindness and who is not. We just need to be kind, unconditionally and without ulterior motive, even - or rather, especially - when we'd prefer not to be.

Everyone has expectations. You just don't want to have them dashed, so you're quiet about them.

My trick is the trick that everyone knows: Work really hard and prepare.

I tend to read things that are a little more on the nourishing side. But if I don't enjoy something, I'll put it down.

The attitude of the director is really important, in terms of setting tone.

I have great people surrounding me and helping me out. I'm totally in love with directing movies and I hope to do more of it.
