I just really am trying, trying, all the time. But I like to be scared. I love to suddenly feel out of control.

I don't apply [being a role model] to the choices I make. I feel like a role model is not necessarily someone you want to imitate, just someone you admire.

I'm obsessed with my cat. We have a really strong, really weird codependent, almost Bella/Edward relationship. I'm going to be a crazy cat lady one day, I'm sure.

I love being on the periphery with a group of people who have the same values that I do. People who don't get off on fame, who just like the process of making movies and thrive.

I think to be a good director you have to be a good person and you have to care about people.

I don't think that there's much hiding that actors can do. If you're doing good work, you're showing a part of yourself to someone.

Maybe I'm completely different from everyone else.
