At eleven I was at the peak of my creative powers: I was writing stories and playlets, putting together poetryprojects. I was absorbed by my 'work.' At twelve I was no longer reading or writing, just counting off days and checking them off. I was interested in survival.

I love working with actors. I do.

If I grew up in a different background, I could see myself getting a gun and shooting an abortionist. That's my job, to imagine what could happen, what can make people go in different directions.

I think success is a lot more healthy than failure.

Casting is everything. If you get the right people they make you look good.

A movie takes on its own life, and you have to respect that and be open to it.

People cant help how they look.
