It's a delicate thing for me, with how involved I am in social media and being a part of people's lives in a way that they want me to.

I just can't feel lukewarm about a character. I either despise her, admire her, or don't understand her and want to understand her.

I'm thinking about anything and everything. I'm making stuff up in my head, I'm using sense memory. Sometimes when it doesn't come and you've got no choice because you're getting paid to do it, you grasp at straws. It's always easy now with my kids. I just create some "what-ifs" in my head, something horrible that would devastate me as a mother.

I cherish each director that I have. I want to be maneuvered out of my comfort zones. I don't have the time to prepare.

I have a lot of frustration with religion, organized religion, because it's man-made, because it's man-regulated. And it has nothing to do with my relationship with God.

I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children.

Just because I’m telling a story about a woman losing faith is not my rebellion against what I grew up in. If anything, it really affected the way I approached the story, and in fact, approach everything. I don’t judge my characters.
