It's kind of fun being the cute, little one. In fact, I'm finding it hard to grow out of that.

I was paying attention to where Steven Soderbergh had the camera and his shots. I was blown away.

Working on "Pieces of April" with Peter Hedges at a young age was really very powerful. It was a different kind of work. We shot that in 10 days and Peter was right there with us, right next to the camera. It was very grounded and I really liked working that way. I liked the way he directed us.

I have some road rage inside of me. Traffic, especially in L.A., is a pet peeve of mine.

I did Phone Booth, and that was shot very, very quickly, but that was Joel Schumacher, who's shot so many movies that, if anybody can figure out how to do it in a couple of days, it's him.

I optioned a book called "Rare Objects" by Kathleen Tessaro and I'm adapting it . It takes place in the 1930s and it's about two women and that's what I'm working on to direct.

Every role that you don't get burns you for a while.
