I learned from Francis Ford Coppola to treat the company like your family.

The secret to success is action, not attitude.Your attitude doesn't matter. It is what you do with your time.

I feel very privileged that I get to spend my life telling stories that mean something to people.

I learn a lot from acting, but it's not my natural way. I can't help but write; I do it all the time. It's a condition of being for me.

I don't read reviews, There's no value for me in reading them. Whether they're good or bad, they'll just make me self-conscious.

As a director, I get to have a much broader creative expression than as an actress.

I think I am a writer, but professionally I feel drawn to and suited for directing.
