As far as developing a career as an actress, I think it's a fine balance between trying to just work, and also be true to yourself.

Editing is a natural extension of collage making. It's actually one of the few areas that women were able to excel in in the film industry from the beginning.

If you're fortunate enough, you get to a position where you can be a little pickier about your roles.

In the end, I play a lot of friends and I really think it's about time that some ethnic girls get out there in the lead part. So we're developing something.

Sometimes I wonder why I'm not working at McDonald's and how come I have the life I have. I don't know. But I'm happy that I have these choices. That's kinda sappy, huh? But whatever, acting beats pumping gas.

When you work on a movie, you just have no idea how it's going to come out; you hope it's good, but you don't really know, and you don't see it until about six or nine months afterward, and I saw it and was pretty pleased.

Which is why I felt I was truly blessed this year, with leads in two nice films, and also the luxury of being able to do a studio film and an independent afterwards was fantastic.
