Maybe I'm a bit of a psycho-but I'd rather be psycho than boring.

To make what you have in your head, I think that's what directing is.

I'm a very independent person, I love being alone, writing and doing music and stuff.

I learned directing by editing because I saw all the mistakes I had made.

The camera can move, you can make the shots, blah blah blah, but as long as the actors are good, you have something.

I love making movies. I love writing. I love acting. I love it, and I feel really blessed to be able to actually make a living with something I love doing.

Maybe every family is dysfunctional, and that's the only thing in common throughout the world.

I think some people, when they get a certain ego, they lose sense of whatever.

You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details.

People have their faults, but it doesn't prevent you from loving them.

My therapist in Paris once told me that being creative is a better form of therapy for me than sitting on his couch.

I think I do find humor in disorder, and reality is disorder.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.

I need to just find my own peace.

When you don't have anybody to take care of you, then you could go both ways: You could do whatever you want, or you could take charge and be your own parent.

I think there was the studio mentality for a long time that women and girls can relate to a male hero, but boys and men can't relate to a female hero.

It's hard to do, but I think it's really important to go back and watch yourself.

I completely agree when there are actors who say, "Actors should stay out of politics. We're not politicians."

When I'm not working, I am the laziest person. I can literally lie on a couch and watch television for 15 hours.
