I love the acting process. What I don't like is what's around it. The auditions and being rejected every other day. The look thing. That you have to lose weight, that you have to do Botox.

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.

Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?

The condition of being an actress can be unbearable.

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

I would assume that there is a greater amount of joy for you in being able to write and help produce your own stuff and make a decent living, but not get rich versus always doing the other stuff that you don’t write, and make more money.

It's terrifying. Women make their first film, their second film, and then it's like a nightmare, right, to make the third or fourth? I mean, it's almost like men can have three films in a row that don't do that well and keep on going.
