If you are the writer/director especially, no one cares more about the project than you do. You know it in and out. You created it. So always listen to input but don't be afraid to veto and fight decisions that you know instinctively are wrong.

It was fun to create characters who had truth to them but were also made up so as not to completely offend!

When you create, it comes from this deep part of you, and your job is you, and so when you don't get heard it can feel bad and frustrating and you have to somehow keep the confidence up.

The pressure for an actress to look good and be skeletally thin is insane and unrealistic and it's a subject I've been fascinated by.

Actresses feel immense pressure to keep up. Nobody wants someone who doesn't know how to market themselves.

I wouldn't say that I was an actress. I tried to be an actress. I really didn't have the gift.
