Nothing I do is salacious or provocative or shocking for the sake of that.

I've always laughed at the term "female director" or even "black director." A director's a director.

I would say 'The Master' was one of the most inspiring things I've ever got to work on.

Mara Casey gave me my first job. I saw something online, and it was for a part in a "Gilmore Girls" episode, and I thought I was right for it.

My sister is an ER doctor and my brother is a teacher.

All you 'Twilight' fans, can't thank you really enough for being so supportive. You're real cool people.

When you do something that people respond to, and then you start altering the blueprint for what worked, it's pretty fear-inducing. But sometimes, you have to do that, in order to push the boundaries.
