I put my films together in Europe and it kick-starts the financing when I'm attached as an actress. It makes it easier to move forward.

I make these little films. I'm just a working person. I just study people a little bit more. It's more sociological, and it's funny anyway - not that serious. It's not like false humility. I just take it for what it is.

The condition of being an actress can be unbearable.

Most of our life is miscommunication, and when you add a language barrier to it, it just becomes total mayhem and confusion... It just adds to it with all of the cultural differences. It could be an American family meeting another American family and you could still have a total clash. With family, it's like visiting another planet.

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 think I do find humor in disorder, and reality is disorder.

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.
