And I realized that directing actors is really important because that's what ends up on screen.

The way I work is that I never let people do an assembly. I don't like it because it shapes the film in a way that I can't really control. To me, editing is making the film and it's a huge process and editors are under-rated.

I don't like to be overly directing people either. I tell them what I want and I tell them when it's wrong. I tell them no, that's not what I want. I want it more like this or more like that. I'm pretty direct with everyone, and I treat everyone the same which might be good.

My therapist in Paris once told me that being creative is a better form of therapy for me than sitting on his couch.

I've directed five films and I've proven that people have made money with my films - many people have made money with my films.

I sometimes wish I were African American because people don't bash them afterward. It's the hardest to be a woman.

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?
