Some films do portray women in their 40s well, and some other films don't. Some films are written by women, so maybe there's a little more accuracy there.

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

Usually I'm able to imagine something and it comes out as I imagined, more or less.

I went to film school to make films just because you're in control of the story.

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

The truth is I don't see a lot of movies. I see the Oscar films. I see the films that are sent to me and a few films throughout the year.

I've had this opportunity to get some of my financing out of Europe, which has helped tremendously, so I'm not completely dependent on the studio system or on U.S. financing.
