I'm a very independent person, I love being alone, writing and doing music and stuff.

I think some people, when they get a certain ego, they lose sense of whatever.

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.

I find most films about fashion terrible because they are caricaturish.

I didn't really fit with other kids. I had problems in school all my life and problems with authority. But my parents never did drugs or anything. They just believed in freedom in the best sense of the word.

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

I always feel this pressure of being a strong and independent icon of womanhood, and without making it look my whole life is revolving around some guy. But loving someone, and being loved means so much to me. We always make fun of it and stuff. But isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?
