I love making movies. I love writing. I love acting. I love it, and I feel really blessed to be able to actually make a living with something I love doing.

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.

Whether it's friendship or love. The essence of is two people trying to share something. When I think of how I met my best friends, it was always like love at first sight.

I love the acting process. What I don't like is what's around it. The auditions and being rejected every other day. The look thing. That you have to lose weight, that you have to do Botox.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.

I avoid confrontation. When I'm on set I never snap at anyone. I don't have a temper.

Never take no for an answer. It took me 20 years between the time I wrote my first screenplay and the time I actually got money to direct a movie.
