What's funny is that with my comedies I don't believe they're my best screenplays necessarily. They're just the ones that I wrote that I knew I could get financing, you know? I believe my other films could be better, but right now they're not being made. But they will eventually.

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

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

My experience is that relationships can be difficult, hard work. I love to be in a relationship.

It's a typical story: you think of something, it stays in the back of your head for a while, and then you finally do it.

I've never had help from anyone, ever. I've never had this great director who saw themselves in me, because I'm a French woman in Hollywood. Who could identify with me as a successful director in Hollywood? Nobody. And the few people who could have been mentors, instead they just stole my ideas.

You're never totally sure. I shouldn't say that because you have to pretend you're completely self-secure all the time. But, the truth is, I know what I'm doing. I think I know what I'm doing.
