I've loved movies since I could remember. They were literally the most significant thing in my life as a kid. I'm really lucky that I've felt so inspired by them; they're such a good format to tell a story.

I genuinely love to be by myself, but at the same time, it's such a relief to know that I have another person's head who I can go into and whose life I can live.

Otherwise it's just going to be really hard.

I think just all girls are my mentors. I feel like I've learned everything I know from just being around other women and learning from them.
