It's definitely easier for a woman to do a romantic comedy than a war movie. It's assumed a woman doesn't have a sense of what action is.

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

I've never had help from anyone, ever. I've never had this great director who saw themselves in me, because I'm a French woman in Hollywood. Who could identify with me as a successful director in Hollywood? Nobody. And the few people who could have been mentors, instead they just stole my ideas.

The camera can move, you can make the shots, blah blah blah, but as long as the actors are good, you have something.

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

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.
