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.

Are you a polititcian or does lyin' just run in your family?

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

What is more important is finding the soul of the character, and making sure it fits well into this story. And that it be dramatic and interesting and captivating, because these people weren't entertainers, you know.

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.

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.
