I'm dreaming about making movies for eight weeks, because it's a luxury. But time is money. That's the reality.

I think anyone who has had a fight and who's a very good observer of the situation and people's behavior is capable of writing a fight. But you do start thinking about writing during the fights that you have with your partner.

I think the first sign of friendship is a manifestation of how you separate from your parents and try to find a new family on your own. It's the first sign of growing.

Some people have bigger egos than others. You have to take a lot of abuse, and take it in and not respond, because you don't want conflicts on the movie, you don't want to start screaming at people even when they treat you - even when they're not behaving properly, because you want them to do their job, and keep on doing it.

I put my films together in Europe and it kick-starts the financing when I'm attached as an actress. It makes it easier to move forward.

When you're an actress, you become this thing in people's hands that people are trying to manipulate. I cannot stand it.

I sometimes wish I were African American because people don't bash them afterward. It's the hardest to be a woman.
