I've made lots of big decisions in my life that have shocked people.

I felt giving birth was the most creative act of all my creative acts - literally creation!

One of the few times I saw my mother cry was when Lennon died, and the other time was when Elvis died.

My favorite part of the whole filmmaking process is working with a fantastic cinematographer, a fantastic actor or actors, and then just creating emotions and stories. I get so excited by that. That's the part I'm utterly addicted to.

I have a massive phobia for schedules and calendars. I need people to tell me where I need to be. I can't bear to see it in black and white. I think it's a fear of being pinned down.

Sometimes when you're looking at your own work, you can't really see, and it's only when you step back a little bit later that you think, "Oh, that's completely in line with everything else I've done".

I think people are frightened of women making big decisions.
