Eventually, everyone said, Why don't you direct? It would save time. And that's how it started.

I don't think I'm great at acting. I think I'm great at directing.

I used to go to school in Manhattan with a bunch of the City Kids.

Comedy's easy for me now - it's all about timing and the way you deliver lines. I use facial expressions to get the point across.

My career has always revolved around what I do and don't want my sisters and brothers seeing me doing

If they [Playboy] could promise me it wasn't camera-between-my-knees kind of shots, I would do it. I would do topless. I think it's empowering. Though if my mother had a real big problem with it, I'd have to say no right now.

Every prop, every shot, every pearl that rolled across the floor was exactly how I wanted it to be.
