When people go through a fight, they're saying things because they hurt, and they want to hurt the person back. Sadly, that's the nature of a relationship. It's one moment where you aren't very adult, but that's how love and a certain passionate relationship exists. When you love someone, it doesn't mean you become a perfect human being, do you?

I had to trick people into giving me money for my first film. Making a romantic comedy is easier and more expected from a woman than it is to make a drama about a Japanese warrior.

Maybe I'm a bit of a psycho-but I'd rather be psycho than boring.

I want to be positive and say: everything I've written will get made eventually.

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

Most of our life is miscommunication, and when you add a language barrier to it, it just becomes total mayhem and confusion... It just adds to it with all of the cultural differences. It could be an American family meeting another American family and you could still have a total clash. With family, it's like visiting another planet.

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