You are not a female or a male - you are a dancer. And when I started going into choreography I became part of a team of people making movies. I wasn't a woman choreographer. I was a choreographer.

There are so many female directors coming into the industry and a lot of them have important stories they want to tell that seem to fall a little bit more on the indie level.

I'm always open to somebody else having a better idea, but I feel like, if it feels real, then people aren't thinking about it and they're just doing the acting of it.

As a dancer, I was always the physical comedy girl. I love it so much.

Maybe people don't think moms are cool. I don't know what to say about it. I don't know. Romantic comedies aren't for everybody, so maybe mom movies aren't for everybody.

I hate when I get a script and I can't see who the people are.

For me, I'm a dancer first. I could be the President of the United States, and I will always be a dancer, first and foremost.

A lot of time it is hard to break into the commercial world and that has only to do with money and that has nothing to do with being female or male.

When you are reading something and you have people pop up in your head you are just sort of stuck with it.

I learned that books are never finished, that it is possible for stories to go on writing themselves without an author.

I suppose you can guess the whole story now? After all, it's a primitive story. A man had two enemies. He was a wise man. And so he discovered that two enemies are better than one.

Man is not the creature of circumstances circumstances are the creature of man. We are free agents and man is more powerful than matter.

There's too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will.

I'm not a make-up person, but I love wearable products that are easy to use, with fun packaging

I grew up listening to Joni Mitchell's version of "A Case of You." My mom was a huge Joni Mitchell fan.

Living fire begets cold, impotent ash.

Images also help me find and realise ideas. I look at hundreds of very different, contrasting images and I pinch details from them, rather like people who eat from other people's plates.

The world wants to assign you a role in life. And once you accept that role you are doomed.

Some songs can wait for years, and then - boom! and explode like a bomb.
