Accept your lack of knowledge and use it as your asset.
If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like.
Grab the good people around you. Don't let them go.
I think the press is doing a wonderful job of putting the pressure on the decision-makers in Hollywood to support more female directors.

Friendship is anything that you get something out of that is very, very important to you.

We live in a violent world, but since the success of films like Pulp Fiction, it seems every movie has some violence in it, and it's now being used as a form of comedy: audiences are now being encouraged to laugh when people get their heads blown off.

When I was in nursery school, the teachers asked me, y'know, 'What does your dad do for a living?' So I said 'He helps women get pregnant!' They called my mom and they were like, 'What exactly does your husband do?'
