I don't come from a film background. I haven't learned anything about films or film-making. But I have a thirst to know everything about my profession. I want to learn about cinematography, about editing, about music recordings, about post-production. So when people in the know talk, I willingly listen.

As a girl, I am this stupid, emotional, very loyal, sort of believe-in-values-and-principals sort of girl.

It's so stupid, so archaic to say that men are so stupid they'd give anything for sex, and women are...that that's the only resort we have.

I was also told some years ago that I shouldn't 'waste my time' with female-centric films because the audience was not ready for it.

I hope and look forward to the day that there will be a female president of the United States.

The joy of creating is the truest joy.

I don't want to be a stereotype; I want a character that's aspirational.
