If I had a plot that was all set in advance, why would I want go through the agony of writing the novel? A novel is a kind of exploration and discovery, for me at any rate.

I never consciously said, 'I want to be an actor.' It sounds stupid, but it's kind of like being a painter or something. You don't say, 'From today on I'm going to be a painter.' It's not something conscious - you've just been painting pictures all your life.

When a guy tells me I'm cute, it's not something desirable. Cute is more like what you want your pet to be.
Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited, and then end up embarrassing family, friends, and even strangers.
I tend to lean toward strong female stories. I want to make things that don't already exist out there.
I always ask myself, would I want someone to do something that wasn't comfortable for them just to please me? And the answer is no.
