I think I'm always drawn to projects that help me understand something about myself.

I try to always be open to what the actors want to try. I don't storyboard and try to be intuitive and open on the day of filming.

I feel like the internet has encouraged people to look into things and try to find issuesthat because people have a lot of opinions. I think it's really important to encourage artistic freedom. I think if you inhibit that, that could be dangerous.

I love that feeling of when it's touching and it makes you happy but there's a melancholy or bittersweet glaze to it.

I'm always a sucker for a love story.

I always remember my dad saying, "No one makes a remake unless they are trying to make money; there is no reason for it." It was not an honorable thing to do.

I just remember seventh grade as being really difficult, because there's nothing meaner than a girl at that age. You gang up on people, and it's traumatic. It wasn't so bad for me, but there's a woman I know who's still traumatized by junior high. At that age, everything seems like a huge deal, but of course that changes when you get older.
