fearless
As a teenager, I wanted to be sophisticated and avant-garde, and I was really judgmental. But when you're a teenager, you're fearless because you don't know the repercussions to anything.
across country drove inspiring life twice
After college, I drove across the country twice with friends. It was one of the most fascinating experiences of my life. I find it really inspiring seeing the country that way.
feature figure great trying
I think what's so great about making your first feature film is that you're so naive in some ways; you don't know what to expect, and you don't question things as much because you're just trying to figure it out as you go.
I think there's always this idea in your head, but you have to allow the film to take its own course.
I was always a big James Franco fan.
including last movies picture watched
I watched a lot of movies about teenagers, including 'The Last Picture Show,' 'American Graffiti,' 'Rumblefish.' It's one of my favorite genres.
school
I went to a private all-girls school where I didn't feel I fit in.
art gain romantic silly watching whether
There is always something I gain from watching a movie, whether it's a silly romantic comedy or an art film.
I get to collaborate and tell stories with moving photographs.
fascinates vice
My only vice is 'Keeping up With The Kardashians.' I can't really explain what it is that fascinates me so much, but it just sucks me in.
name work
My name does help me get in the door, but it doesn't do the work for me.
alone certain connect hopefully job people
I think my job is hopefully to connect with people emotionally and to feel less alone or understand things in a certain way.
crushes seemed
I remember having crushes and longings, but there were all these missed opportunities or things that seemed like such a big deal, but you really don't understand what the other person is going through.
deterred family felt movies people
I remember people - not my family - always asking, 'Oh, so are you going to make movies when you're older?' I felt pressured, and that always kind of deterred me.
