Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl, I was trying.

You don't need to be flamboyant in your life to be flamboyant in your work.

At my age, no one is married, no one has kids, no one has a career.

I'm ridiculous in my oversharing; my mom and sister are very open but a little more judicious than me... and my father is a decidedly private person.

I've always loved my own little office spaces no matter what they were like. It's the Virginia Woolf, room of one's own concept, it's really important.

I felt like I was a writer, and I just thought filmmaking was the best way for me to express that, because it allows me to embrace the visual world that I love. It's allows me to interact with people, to be more social than fiction or poetry, and it felt like the right way for me to tell the stories that felt pressing to me.

You can't give any exciting speech without misremembering things.
