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

I find the female tragedy of insecurity to be hilarious. We get obsessed over issues like the tiny skin tags on our backs or that we're fat. You read one line in a magazine and it sends you into a tailspin.

I feel tremendously lucky that I am offered incredible jobs all the time to direct, but the problem that I have just personally is that there are only so many years in my life to dedicate to certain projects.

The producers had seen "In a World..." and that's where they found me out and consequently sought me out for this role [in Man up].

I'm going to say a phrase or terminology or vowel that I don't know how to attack .

I'm a music person. Music is, for me, the best way to cure any sort of anxiety or icky feelings. I think it immediately takes you out of your element and makes some other person do the work for your thoughts.

I wrote an entire movie [Man up] about how important I think voices are, so it was funny.
