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.

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

I worked with an amazing dialect coach named Jill McCullough. We did Skype sessions while I was shooting "No Escape" in Thailand, actually. So three times a week I would have long, two-hour sessions with her just working on the nuance of the accent, which I had had a huge background in because I went to drama school in England for four years.

I think of myself as a content creator and hopefully one day a content enabler and supporter of others, so that's what my immediate and hopefully future journey is.

I think great directors really respect their actors and vice versa. That mutual respect makes the job fun instead of anything but.

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.

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