letting trying
The hardest thing on 'Palo Alto' was letting go because I kept working on it, trying to make it better.

I love to play with the gadgets that come with film.

I love working with other people and bouncing ideas off them.
investing love movies
I love making movies. But it's a lot of investing your heart and soul. It can be exhausting.
In high school, I didn't always relate to my friends. I was more of a spectator.
allowed bad freedom house outside
In California, where you're allowed to drive at 16, you get so much freedom with that. It's a freedom to get outside of your parents' house and to do bad things.
act broke trying
As a first-time director, you act a lot like a teenager. I made decisions because I was hotheaded. My skin broke out. I was trying to understand who I am.
work
I've always been very comfortable in a set environment. All the collaborating going on, seeing how actors work - it all excites me.
I've been going to the same person for haircuts since I was thirteen.
bad
I wanted to be a ballet dancer. I was bad - I'm not very coordinated. But I always wished I could have been a dancer.
experience
It was kind of intimidating to make a feature without that much experience.
In Italy, there are a lot of Coppolas - it's like being called Jones. No one really notices.
liked
I like the pharmacy makeup. I always get stuck in that aisle... I've always liked looking at it.
