I completely bombed the audition... I was insecure, stopping and starting. I went to the bathroom and cried.

Filmmaking is a huge privilege; it's not brain surgery. It's art, and art is supposed to be an enjoyable process, and it is an enjoyable experience for me.

I like my body, I like to have fun with what I put on, but I also want to remain classic. So I guess my signature is sexy and eclectic but classic.

I had had a huge background in the nuance of the accent because I went to drama school in England for four years.

I love fashion. I always have. When I was a kid, I was in almost full-on costumes when I went to school, and I've retained a bit of that in my adulthood.

With more money brings more fear and when you're trying to be creative in a fear-based environment it's dangerous. Then decisions are made out of fear, not what's best for the film.

Actually, in my own life I think I probably feign neuroses to be more interesting than I am.

I am lactose intolerant, and I always thought it was really funny how people who are lactose intolerant continue to eat dairy, because they like it so much. And I find it not acceptable.

I think of myself as a content creator and hopefully one day a content enabler and supporter of others, so that's what my immediate and hopefully future journey is.

I'm going to say a phrase or terminology or vowel that I don't know how to attack .

I'm vegan on home base, but when I travel to other countries, I throw it all into the garbage.

The life each of us lives is the life within the limits of our own thinking. To have life more abundant we must think in limitless terms of abundance.

Maxi dresses are also my best friend. They take me from my morning coffee, to the beach, to nighttime.

One truth that I know for sure, for me anyway, is that the more you know, the more you realize that you don't know.

Never let something important become urgent

It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions.

Although military, economic and political strength certainly favors the more powerful side, the matter of simple justice is a counterbalancing factor.

Music is the greatest communication in the world.

I am not concerned with truth, nor with conventional notions of what is beautiful.

Every film has to be the next something else; originality isn't celebrated because you can't market it.

I don't know if there will ever be an ideal way of selling an original picture. Because everything you're doing, you're inventing.
