I've been in love with my best friend and not been able to tell that person.

I can't be the only person that's like, "Why am I in love with this guy just because he makes me feel bad?" I can't be the only person in the world who's had that feeling.

I've slept with men that are unavailable, I've fallen in love with people I don't know.

I focus on darker things or bad behavior or explicit dialogue because creatively I am more interested in my mistakes and why I made them than my good deeds and my achievements.

I like to think of characters in relation to other cinematic characters.

I've really carelessly gotten out of relationships that were incredibly destructive instead of being honest.

Without the benefit of Google, ask anybody to name more than five female filmmakers that have made more than three films. It's shockingly hard.
