There are obviously people who want to be very niche, but I think for the most part everybody is trying to reach a larger audience.

To me it's so much like Spaced in that way. Um, which I love so much, so I think fans of that and fans of the comics are going to really see that up on the screen.

My first movie was a movie that had a bunch of people dying in it - the typical popcorn movie. That's where I got my start.

I realized that the people weren't just characters but they were people and they were getting to do something that was so fun and I wanted to be a part of it.

I come from a pretty scientific family. My sister is a neurologist and my brother is an engineer.

I think since I'm not particularly well-known as myself, it's funny all the different perceptions people have of me. Like, if someone's only seen me in 'Death Proof,' they think I'm sort of a ditzy girl who says stupid things and wears revealing outfits all the time.

Particularly for women, I think more of us in the industry need to just do it. I think guys are more willing to put themselves out, that way, at least with the girls that I know. We say we want to direct, but then we don't actually do it.
