Directing was rarely a thought in my head growing up. Especially not when I first began acting or working on my first professional sets.

That's the cool thing about relationships. You're relating to someone else. It's another thing to balance who you are off of.

I think social media has a lot of negative impact and negative effects. These are fairly extreme and horrifying and really gruesome.

It's always interesting when you throw two people in a room and have them try to biologically, immediately connect, but that's biology's job.

If I do a play, it's my vision, and everybody else is working on the production to support that. If I do an opera, I feel like part of my job is to support that composer, to try and create something that allows the composer to do his or her best work. In movies, it's usually the director.

I believe in good films and bad films. Box-office business and all is my husband's section. Sometimes I really get surprised when good films don't do well... Sometimes you are really shocked when an average film does very well.

I actually started my career interning at Perry Ellis and got to work with Marc Jacobs.

People tried to make me something that I wasn't at the beginning of my career.
