thinking people sometimes
Sometimes people say something to you and you're like, "I respect you so much, I love what you do, but I disagree. I don't think that's right for the way I see it."
opportunity female film
I'd say I got three or four offers for films that had female directors, so in my career I haven't had that opportunity before. That's exciting.
country upset trying
I'm just upset that we've been distracted by so much noise and vulgarity when we could be trying to talk about how our country can get stronger.
As a director you have to - you don't have the option of saying, "I'm not watching this."
I read every biography [of Jackie Kennedy] I could get my hands on.
jobs silly voice
I'd basically have trouble with any job that doesn't require me to wear silly clothes and talk in funny voices.
skills people attention
I learned to observe other people - that's sort of what it teaches you. To pay attention. Which can also be a really natural human skill.
vision want directors
Your director is your everything and you devote yourself to them and you want to help create their vision.
role-models roles feels
I also feel I'm a positive role model by not putting my education on hold.
israel born stakes
As someone who was born in Israel, you're put in a position of defending Israel because you know how much is at stake.
sex media emotion
We have so much sex in our media that's disassociated from emotions.
love-you enough
No one will ever love you as much as I do. Why isn't love enough?
feels
The only place I am recognized all the time is in L.A. and otherwise, it's only about once a day. I feel pretty anonymous.
sex emotional feelings
We have so much separation between feeling the emotional and physical side of sex.
