There is a magic thing called 'tone' in a film, that the director must master and maintain.

I have a great drive to make things and sometimes I forget to slow down a little.

I never had any desire to become a well-known actress.

That's one thing I find about having children - it does unlock a door that separates you from other women who've had children.

I've always been fascinated by the way that children and animals suffer stoically in a way that I don't think adults do.

I would have started writing a lot earlier if I hadn't been [Arthur Miller's daughter].

I think it's very important to keep being frightened - if you're not frightening yourself, you should take a break. You need to keep experimenting. You also need to take time - that's how you do good stuff - layering and depth of knowledge.
