I think coming to work and being absurd and neurotic and thoughtful at the same time is far more interesting.

I completely bombed the audition... I was insecure, stopping and starting. I went to the bathroom and cried.

I don't really enjoy working in TV, to be completely honest, even though it's incredibly lucrative, I'm just terrified of not being satiated in a myriad of different ways. It's amazing that I get to create every day, as an actor, or a director, or a writer, and I get to do it in a variety of different genres and worlds and characterizations. I think that's the great privilege of what we do, we get to make believe. I get to go to so many different places, try on different occupations, take on different points of view. That's what's always been sort of alluring.

When I'm tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director I then look for an acting gig.

I understand and respect deeply that each project brings its own secret and wonderful gifts and happy accidents.

We're all part of movie and we're all incredibly and equally important but it is your actor's job to perform and to deliver.

I feel very fortunate to be currently in the position where I can choose to be an actor, writer, director, or all of them at the same time. With being a mom, I've recently had a priority shift that has sort of thrusted itself on my existence, but I tend to use all experiences as something to work with. Anything that is profoundly, energy shifting - like having a child - is fodder for creative thought.
