discovery quiet-moments made
In the quiet moments, the discoveries are made.
ignorance doubt cynicism
Doubt is the middle position between knowledge and ignorance. It encompasses cynicism but also genuine questioning.
fighting names rude
In these times, in this harsh, rude, warring world that we live in, where most of the bloodshed is 'My god is greater than your god,' and we're fighting in the name of our god, we have to find a way to peaceably coexist, spiritually.
editing ego coins
Editing yourself is like an irksome coin toss. You've got to strip yourself of super ego and operate from the id. Maybe I've got my Freud mixed up. It's just hard to trade a beauty shot for the performance with truth and a brightly lit zit.
soul feels your-soul
Your soul either feels lifted by something that you read, or it feels squashed by it.
done chekhov ready
Chekhov, when it's done well and you're ready for it, can actually be quite funny.
country barbie noses
I can't do Los Angeles. I've always been the anti-Barbie. I don't want to be in a place where almost every woman walks around with puffy lips, little noses and breasts large enough to nourish a small country.
mom real wife
No role is more challenging, rewarding and inspiring than my real-life role as a mom and a wife.
thinking giving choices
I think I always try to be accommodating and open and available and proving for my director. I love to give as many takes as they want. I love to give them as many choices as they want.
independent creative arena
I do love directing. I'm only comfortable working in the independent film arena for a very small budget where I have creative control and I can put my stamp on it.
ambition thinking ambitious
Am I ambitious? I used to be afraid of that word but now I think ambition is a good thing.
differences making-a-difference want
There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.
feelings sound music-is
Music is what our feelings sound like.
simple childhood tragedy
I'm pretty squeaky clean. No big tragedies in my childhood or adolescence or adulthood. I've had a very easygoing, simple life.
