I love acting and I still want to do it, but I've such an instinct for directing, it's something that comes naturally to me. It's why I'm here on this planet.

When you're an actress, you become this thing in people's hands that people are trying to manipulate. I cannot stand it.

I always wanted to write a story about a couple coming to that moment in their relationship where either they keep on going or it ends.

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

It's very hard to sustain love, that's for sure. But the more you have your own life and your own self, and the less you give away who you are, the more men are attracted to you. The more desperate you are for a relationship, the worse it is to find a healthy relationship. Because the minute you become one-and-a-half people instead of two, it's a mess. Nobody's happy. Keeping your identity and having your own life and your own self, that's the only way I can make my life and sustain life.

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 definitely didn't fit in perfectly to the school system. I was raised with such freedom of speech and thinking.
