girl emotional guy
Girls have girl/guy relationships because we are expected to be so emotional and sensitive and stuff, and sometimes you just don't feel like being that way.
girl guy sensitive
Guys have guy/girl relationships so that they can have their own guy thing plus the sensitive thing with the girl.
girl guy different
Basically I have, like, five really close friends - girls and guys. I like being friends with both because you can do different things with both.
people giving feedback
You have to be careful when you're getting feedback because people will give you conflicting feedback all the time, but ultimately you end up following your own inner guide.
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."
Normally I can't watch myself at all, and watching myself makes me cringe, and I cover my face, and it's very hard to watch.
thinking people film
I think people who aren't in film experience that when they hear their voice on an answering machine or something.
easy
To have to watch myself in a way that was constructively critical was really good for me because it made me a little bit more easy on myself because I wasn't allowed to walk away screaming.
As a director you have to - you don't have the option of saying, "I'm not watching this."
privacy interest unwanted
It's so much unwanted interest in your privacy that you don't want to invite anymore.
interesting literature arthur
There were, like, 20 of [Jackie Kennedy's biographies], which was interesting because they are not exactly high literature - they are pulpy.But the [Arthur] Schlesinger transcripts ended up being the most useful of anything.
I read every biography [of Jackie Kennedy] I could get my hands on.
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.
thinking people journalism
I hear, more than ever, people actively searching for women to direct, actively wanting to finance women's films, which is not to say it is easy, but I think it's been a great instance of how journalism has put pressure on business to be more fair between genders.
